Dependence of n-Butane Activation on Active Site of Vanadium Phosphate Catalysts

The nature and the role of oxygen species and vanadium oxidation states on the activation of n-butane for selective oxidation to maleic anhydride were investigated. Bi-Fe doped and undoped vanadium phosphate catalysts were used a model catalyst. XRD revealed that Bi-Fe mixture dopants led to formati...

Zusammenfassung:The nature and the role of oxygen species and vanadium oxidation states on the activation of n-butane for selective oxidation to maleic anhydride were investigated. Bi-Fe doped and undoped vanadium phosphate catalysts were used a model catalyst. XRD revealed that Bi-Fe mixture dopants led to formation of αII-VOPO₄ phase together with (VO)₂P₂O₇ as a dominant phase when the materials were heated in n-butane/air to form the final catalysts. TPR analysis showed that the reduction behaviour of Bi-Fe doped catalysts was dominated by the reduction peak assigned to the reduction of V⁵⁺ species as compared to the undoped catalyst, which gave the reduction of V⁴⁺ as the major feature. An excess of the oxygen species (O²⁻) associated with V⁵⁺ in Bi-Fe doped catalysts improved the maleic anhydride selectivity but significantly lowering the rate of n-butane conversion. The reactive pairing of V⁴⁺-O⁻ was shown to be the centre for n-butane activation. It is proposed that the availability and appearance of active oxygen species (O⁻) on the surface of vanadium phosphate catalyst is the rate determining step of the overall reaction.
