M. Ai et al., CHARACTERISTICS OF IRON PHOSPHATE AS A CATALYST FOR PARTIAL OXIDATION, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 67(2), 1994, pp. 551-556
The catalytic performances of iron phosphate were compared with those
obtained from the phosphates of vanadium and molybdenum in the partial
oxidation of various compounds. such as 1-butene, crotonaldehyde, met
hacrylaldehyde, propinaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, propi
onic acid. butyric acid, and isobutyric acid. Iron phosphate showed ex
cellent performance for only the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutyr
aldehyde and isobutyric acid to form methacrylaldehyde and methacrylic
acid, respectively.
