Abstract

Abstract:

The catalytic performance of active MoVTeNbO_x catalysts containing an M1 phase in the partial oxidation of propane to acrylic acid (AA) was greatly improved when an optimal amount of Cr was added. The catalyst containing Cr/Nb (molar ratio = 0.002) showed good selectivity (78.3%) and high AA yield (50.7%). The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H₂ temperature-programmed reduction, O₂ and NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption, and oxidation of 2-propanol. The relationship between the catalyst structure and catalytic properties was investigated. The results indicated that the amounts of Mo⁶⁺, V⁵⁺ and Te⁴⁺ species on the catalyst surface were adjusted, and oxidation activity of the catalyst increased, as a result of doping with an appropriate amount Cr, which promoted propane activation. The acid strength became weaker, and the number of acid sites on the catalyst surface decreased, which suppressed AA oxidation and improved the selectivity for AA.

Key words: Propane, Selective oxidation, Acrylic acid, MoVTeNbO_x catalyst, Cr doping
