Abstract
Abstract V-P-Zr catalysts effective for the oxidation of alkanes to dicarboxylic acid anhydrides (e.g., maleic anhydride) are prepared by mixing vanadium pentoxide and a zirconium salt with a hydrogen halide, then adding phosphoric acid.

A METHOD FOR PREPARING A VANADIUM-PHOSPHORUSZIRCONIUM COMPOSITE, HAVING AN ATOMIC RATIO OF P/V OF BETWEEN ABOUT 0.5 AND ABOUT 2 AND AN ATOMIC RATIO OF ZR/V OF BETWEEN ABOUT 0.0025 AND ABOUT 0.5, WHICH COMPRISES: A. FORMING A MIXTURE OF (I) A VANDIUM COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF V2O3, VOCI3, VO(NO3)3, NH4VO3 AND VF53, (II) ZIRCONIUM SALT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ZROCL2, ZROCL24H2O, XROCL2'' 8H2O, ZRO(OAC)2, H2O, ZRCL4, ZR(OAC)4, NA2ZRCL6 AND ZROBR2, XH2O, AND (III) AQUEOUS HCL, HBR OR HI, B. HEATING THE RESULTING SOLUTION AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 50*C. AND ABOUT 125*C. FOR A SUFFICIENT TIME TO CONVERT THE RESULTING ORANGE SLURRY TO A BLUE SOLUTION, THE QUANTITY OF THE HYDROGEN HALIDE (III) BEING AT LEAST ABOUT 5 MOLES PER GRAM ATOM OF SAID VANADIUM COMPOUND (I) AND THE AMOUNT OF SAID ZIROCONIUM SALT (II) BEING FROM ABOUT 0.0025 TO ABOUT 0.5 GRAM ATOM PER GRAM ATOM OF VANADIUM COMPOUND (I), C. ADDING FROM ABOUT 0.5 TO ABOUT 2 GRAM ATOMS OF PHOSPHORIC ACID OR OF A COMPOUND HYDROLYZABLE TO PHOSPHORIC ACID PER GRAM ATOM OF SAID VANADIUM COMPOUND, TO THE RESULTING SOLUTION TO FORM A GEL, AND D.
