The effects of the porous structure of the silica gel support, the composition of the gaseous medium, and the state of the active component on the high-temperature deactivation of vanadium catalysts are discussed. A significant reduction in activity in the reaction medium occurs in the absence of phase transitions in the active component and the support and correlates with a reduction in the specific surface of the catalyst; it is enhanced by the use of densely packed silica gels with a low pore volume, by an increase in the molar ratio of alkaline promoters to vanadium (M/V), and especially by an increase in the fraction of sodium promoter. Compared with the reaction mixture, deactivation in air is characterized by desulfurization, decomposition of the active component, and intense crystallization of the support.
