The effect of acid-base properties of supported molybdenum oxide in propylene oxidation
- Virginia Polytechnic Inst. and State Univ., Blacksburg, VA (United States)
Samples of molybdenum oxide supported on SiO{sub 2}, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and TiO{sub 2} were used to study the effect of loading and support on propylene oxidation. The samples were characterized by oxygen chemisorption, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), and temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR) of adsorbed ethanol. Oxygen chemisorption and TPR results indicated that the molybdenum oxide-support interaction increased in the order SiO{sub 2} < Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} < TiO{sub 2}. TPSR of adsorbed ethanol was used to characterize the acid-base properties of the catalysts. These properties played an important role in the surface reactions of the highly dispersed low-loading samples and resulted in the formation of oxidation products depending on the supports (acrolein on MoO{sub 3}/SiO{sub 2}, acetaldehyde on MoO{sub 3}/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, and acetone on MoO{sub 3}/TiO{sub 2}). In higher loading samples these differences were reduced as support effects became less important. 80 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab.
