Abstract
Abstract A method for the preparation of a single phase crystalline vanadium(IV)bis(metaphosphate), VO(PO3)2, catalyst having an improved intrinsic surface area of from about 5 to 15 m2/g. and useful for the vapor phase oxidation of linear C4 unsaturated olefins, such as n-butenes, to prepare maleic anhydride.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A method for the preparation of a single phase crystalline vanadium(IV)bis(metaphosphate) oxidation catalyst for preparing maleic anhydride by oxidation of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, which catalyst has an intrinsic surface area of from about 5.0 to 15.0 m 2 /g., which comprises the steps of: forming a slurry of vanadyl sulfate, acetic anhydride and phosphorus pentoxide with the liberation of exothermic heat; introducing said slurry into a heating zone and maintaining said zone at a temperature of at least about 325° C. for a period sufficient for the liberation of gases and forming a vanadium phosphorus reaction product; cooling the reaction product and washing with water to essentially remove any soluble residue; drying the washed product and calcining in air to obtain a single phase crystalline vanadium(IV)bis(metaphosphate) catalyst having an intrinsic surface area of from about 5.0 to 15.0 m 2 /g.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
