Abstract
Abstract In a method for preparing a phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalyst wherein a pentavalent vanadium compound and a trivalent phosphorus compound are brought together in a liquid reaction zone under conditions to provide a substantial amount of tetravalent vanadium and to form a phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalyst precursor having a phosphorus to vanadium atom ratio between about 0.9:1 and about 2:1, the improvement of this invention comprises adding a sufficient amount of a surfactant to the liquid reaction zone to form a dispersion which comprises a liquid, the surfactant and a dispersoid of the phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalyst precursor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A dispersion which comprises a dispersoid which comprises a finely divided phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen precursor having a phosphorus to vanadium atom ratio of between about 0.9:1 and about 2:1 wherein a substantial amount of the vanadium is tetravalent vanadium, a liquid chemically inert with the dispersoid and at least about 0.01 weight percent of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, and ampholytic compounds and mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
A dispersion which comprises a dispersoid which comprises a finely divided phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen precursor having a phosphorus to vanadium atom ratio of between about 0.9:1 and about 2:1 wherein a substantial amount of the vanadium is tetravalent vanadium, a liquid chemically inert with the dispersoid and at least about 0.01 weight percent of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, and ampholytic compounds and mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dispersion of claim 1 wherein the amount of surfactant is between about 0.01 weight percent and about 0.5 weight percent, based on the total weight of the dispersion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A dispersion of claim 1 wherein the amount of surfactant is between about 0.05 weight percent and about 0.2 weight percent, based on the weight of the dispersion.
