Synergetic effects in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane have been studied over magnesium vanadate catalysts containing three different Mg/V ratios: {1/2}, 2/2, and 3/2, denoted as MgV({1/2}), MgV(2/2), and MgV(3/2). Four types of catalysts were analysed: (a) pure magnesium vanadate oxides, (b) mechanical mixtures of the pure magnesium vanadate oxides, (c) mechanical mixtures of the magnesium vanadate oxides with {alpha}-Sb{sub 4}O{sub 4}, and (d) impregnated MgV(2/2) and MgV(3/2) with Sb ions. Synergetic effects are observed in MgV(3/2) and in MgV(2/2) oxides when they are in presence of {alpha}-Sb{sub 2}O{sub 4}. 38 refs., 5 figs., 15 tabs.
