Title: Gas phase heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of alkanes to aliphatic ketones and/or other oxygenates

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1172752

A catalyst, its method of preparation and its use for producing aliphatic ketones by subjecting alkanes C.sub.3 to C.sub.9 to a gas phase catalytic oxidation in the presence of air or oxygen, and, optionally, steam and/or one or more diluting gases. The catalyst comprises a catalytically active mixed metal oxide phase and a suitable support material onto and/or into which the active catalytic phase id dispersed.
