The adsorption and oxidation of furan, an intermediate in the conversion of 1-butene to maleic anhydride, were studied on a catalyst containing 15.6% molybdenum as trioxide on titanium dioxide that yielded 53% maleic anhydride at 63% conversion. The results showed at furan adsorbed in two distinct modes, of which one was observed only on oxidized surface and the other was always present but depended on the degree of reduction. The adsorbed furan was oxidized in the presence of oxygen at temperatures above 235/sup 0/C, but it desorbed only above 320/sup 0/C. The Mo=O species did not seem to be important in the oxidation of furan to maleic anhydride.
