The importance of site isolation and phase cooperation in propane ammoxidation on rutile-type vanadia catalysts
Propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile over rutile-type vanadia catalysts is discussed regarding phase cooperation and site isolation effects. Compared with the pure phases, biphasic catalysts with both similar to SbVO4 and alpha -Sb2O4 are considerably more selective to the formation of acrylonitrile. It is demonstrated that cooperation between the phases during the calcination of the catalyst and
