Abstract
Abstract The preparation of phosphorus-vanadium oxidation catalyst by the reduction of the valence of vanadium to less than +5 is obtained by employing less than the stoichiometric amount of reducing agent necessary to reduce the valence of the vanadium from +5 to +4, preferably 70 to 98% of the stoichiometric amount of reducing agent can be used.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
In the process for the preparation of vanadium-phosphorus containing oxidation catalysts comprising the reduction of pentavalent vanadium to a valence of less than +5 with a trivalent phosphorus compound, reducing agent, wherein the improvement comprises employing from about 75 to 90% of the stoichiometric amount of reducing agent necessary to reduce the valency of the vanadium from +5 to +4.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
In the process for the preparation of vanadium-phosphorus containing oxidation catalysts comprising the reduction of pentavalent vanadium to a valence of less than +5 with a trivalent phosphorus compound, reducing agent, wherein the improvement comprises employing from about 75 to 90% of the stoichiometric amount of reducing agent necessary to reduce the valency of the vanadium from +5 to +4.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process according to claim 2 wherein the reducing agent is phosphorous acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
In the process for the preparation of vanadium - phosphorus containing catalysts comprising the reduction of pentavalent vanadium to a valence of less than +5 wherein the reducing agent is a mixture of an organic acid or aldehyde having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and a secondary alchol having 3 to 12 carbon atoms wherein the improvement comprises employing from about 75 to 90% of the stoichiometric amount of reducing agent necessary to reduce the valency of the vanadium from +5 to +4.
