Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A process for preparing a catalyst for catalayzing maleic anhydride production by oxidation of a hydrocarbon and which has an intrinsic surface area in excess of 5 m 2 /g, which preparation process comprises: a. forming a solution containing a vanadium compound and a phosphorus compound in an organic liquid medium, the medium containing less than 20 volume percent water and at least 15 volume percent oxygen-containing organic compounds selected from the group consisting of alcohols, carboxylic acids, ethers, esters, amides, and ketones, said medium and said vanadium and phosphorus compounds being effective so as to form a vanadium phosphate compound wherein the average valence of vanadium is between +3.8 and +4.6; b. precipitating said vanadium phosphate compound in said solution; c. removing liquid medium from the solution to obtain said vanadium phosphate compound; and d. calcining the vanadium phosphate compound to obtain said catalyst having an intrinsic surface area in excess of 5 m 2 /g.--
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
