Partial Oxidation of Propane Over V-P-O Catalysts and Promoters.

Strategy in achieving propane selective oxidation over multi-functional Mo-based oxide catalysts

“…There are a few research works dealing with the propane oxidation to other oxygenated compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, acetone, and acids [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] except acrolein and acrylic acid. Takita [34] has reported the catalytic oxidation of propane over Cu 2 P 2 O 7 and Ni 2 P 2 O 7 metal phosphates. The characteristic point in their approach was the reaction condition of propane rich feed at 450 • C. Various oxygenated compounds were produced like acetaldehyde, methanol, acrolein, acetic acid, propionic acid, propionaldehyde, acetone.…”

Thermal, structural and acidic characterization of some vanadyl phosphate materials modified with trivalent metal cations

“…Many of these materials have their precursors in layered vanadyl phosphate dihydrate (VOPO4.2H20) and some related compounds such as VOHPO4.0.5H20, from which the catalysts are prepared by thermal treatment at a suitable temperature [3]. Vanadyl phosphates are used in oxidation of propane to acetic and acrylic acid [4], in ammoxidation ofpicolines [5] and toluenes [6][7][8] to nitriles, in the preparation of aminocyanopyridines from aminomethyl-pyridines [9] or, mixed with titanium phosphate, for the prepara-…”
