Abstract
Mo–V–Te–P mixed oxide catalysts, prepared by a dry-up method at various pHs (in the range of about 1.0–9.0), have been tested in the partial oxidation of isobutane. The best catalytic performance was achieved over a catalyst prepared at a pH about 7.0. In this case, high selectivity to methacrolein (37.0%) at an isobutane conversion of 12.7% has been obtained at 380 °C. The surface V4+/V5+ ratios of the calcined samples were strongly influenced by the pH in the synthesized solution, which is one of the key factors in the catalytic performance for selective oxidation of isobutane.
