The importance of site isolation and phase cooperation in propane ammoxidation on rutile-type vanadia catalysts

Abstract
Propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile over rutile-type vanadia catalysts is discussed regarding phase cooperation and site isolation effects. Compared with the pure phases, biphasic catalysts with both similar to SbVO4 and alpha -Sb2O4 are considerably more selective to the formation of acrylonitrile. It is demonstrated that cooperation between the phases during the calcination of the catalyst and the use in propane ammoxidation results in spreading of antimony species from free antimony oxide to the surface of similar to SbVO4, forming Sb5+-V3+/V4+ supra-surface sites being involved in the formation of acrylonitrile. Dilution and isolation of the vanadium centers in similar to SbVO4 through the partial replacement with, e.g., Al, Ti and W... (More)

It is demonstrated that cooperation between the phases during the calcination of the catalyst and the use in propane ammoxidation results in spreading of antimony species from free antimony oxide to the surface of similar to SbVO4, forming Sb5+-V3+/V4+ supra-surface sites being involved in the formation of acrylonitrile. Dilution and isolation of the vanadium centers in similar to SbVO4 through the partial replacement with, e.g., Al, Ti and W improves the catalytic properties. Structure-reactivity correlations using data for a nominal Sb0.9V0.9,TixOy series indicate that the activation of propane occurs on a V3+ site and the activation of ammonia requires an Sb5+ site.
