The reduction of complex molybdenum-containing oxide catalysts Co-Mo-Bi-Fe, Mo-Bi-Fe and Co-Mo-Bi-Fe-P and their subsequent reoxidation by oxygen were studied by a microcatalytic method and by ..gamma.. resonance spectroscopy in the region of 270-390/sup 0/C. It was shown that various phases are subjected to reduction in Mo-containing oxide systems. It was established quantitatively that in the most active and selective Co-Mo-Bi-Fe catalysts of the oxidation of propylene to acrolein, reduction occurs only on account of the ferric molybdate phase. The rates and activation energies of the reduction processes were calculated. The degree of reduction of iron molybdate in a Co-Mo-Bi-Fe sample was determined by spectroscopic and kinetic methods, and the diffusion coefficients of oxygen in this catalyst was calculated. The rate of reoxidation of the catalysts is higher than the rate of their reduction and cannot be the limiting step in the oxidation of the olefin.
