The kinetics of the reduction of V-MoO/sub 3/ catalyst with allyl alcohol is studied by a relaxation method. It is shown that after relaxation the reduction rate rises because of an increase of the concentration of reactive oxygen in the near-surface layer. A kinetic model of the reduction of the catalyst that takes into consideration diffusion of oxygen to the surface is offered. The model is in agreement with experiment. Kinetic parameters of the diffusion of oxygen and surface relaxation are determined. It is shown that diffusion is characterized by high rates under the reaction conditions. The vacancy concentration gradient that is formed in the course of reduction is calculated, along with the time needed for it to even out during relaxation of the catalyst.
