Creation of Oxidation Catalysts Based on Molybdenum Oxides with Structural Variety

Abstract

Complex metal oxide catalysts active for gas-phase selective oxidations of olefins and alkanes are usually constructed with molybdenum oxide as a main and key component with various metal elements. Two catalytic systems, multicomponent Mo-Bi oxide catalysts for propylene selective oxidation and crystalline Mo-V oxide-based catalysts for alkane selective oxidation have been described in details in terms of catalytic component collaboration sustained by high dimensional catalyst structures.
