“…Typically, these equilibrated catalysts consist of crystalline (VO) 2 P 2 O 7 with little or no side phases detectable by XRD, the phosphorus : vanadium ratio is close to unity, and the overall oxidation state of the vanadium in these catalysts is close to +IV [69]. Generally, the equilibrated catalyst is more stable against overoxidation to VOPO 4 , probably due to adsorbed carbonaceous species resulting from exposure to the reaction gas [118,199].
