Abstract:

Vanadium-containing H_6+xP₂Mo_18−xV_xO₆₂ (x = 0-3) Wells-Dawson heteropolyacid (HPA) catalysts were prepared. The successful formation of the Wells-Dawson HPAs was confirmed by FT-IR and ICP-AES analyses. The reduction potential of the H_6+xP₂Mo_18-xV_xO₆₂ (x = 0-3) catalysts was determined by temperature-programmed reduction measurements. The Wells-Dawson HPA catalysts were applied to the vapor-phase oxidation of methacrolein and benzyl alcohol. The reduction potential, conversion of methacrolein, and conversion of benzyl alcohol showed volcano-shaped curves with respect to vanadium substitution, and decreased in the order of H₈P₂Mo₁₆V₂O₆₂ > H₇P₂Mo₁₇V₁O₆₂ > H₉P₂Mo₁₅V₃O₆₂ > H₆P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂. A correlation between reduction potential and catalytic activity clearly showed that the conversion was monotonically increased with increasing reduction potential of the HPA catalyst in both oxidation reactions.
