Promoting effect of TiO2 and Al2O3 supports on the activity of vanadium oxide catalyst for the oxidation of benzene measured in terms of the turnover frequency

Abstract

The following relationship, V2O5–TiO2 > unsupported V2O5 > V2O5–Al2O3, was found to hold for the turnover frequency for the oxidation of benzene, which indicates the promoting effect of the TiO2 support on the reaction with vanadium oxide catalyst.
