OSTI ID:6808506

The catalytic properties of the vanadium-molybdenum oxide system were investigated in the oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid. The active component of the catalyst is the compound VMo/sub 3/O/sub 11/, the maximum amount of which is observed at a content of 7-15 mole% V/sub 2/O/sub 4/. The compound VMo/sub 3/O/sub 11/ is formed in the thermodecomposition of silicomolybdovanadium heteropoly acids or isopoly compounds, reduced with respect to vanadium, and contains V/sup 4 +/ and Mo/sup 6 +/. The optimum treatment for the formation of this compound is treatment in the reaction mixture at 400 degrees C.
