Li. Orel et al., COOPERATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE INDIVIDUAL PHASES OF A COMPLEX OXIDE CATALYST FOR THE OXIDATION OF PROPYLENE TO ACROLEIN, Kinetics and catalysis, 33(5-6), 1992, pp. 931-935
A synergistic effect has been detected of the increase in the yield of
acrolein in the oxidation of propylene on the mechanical mixture of (
alpha + beta)CoMoO4 and MoO3 and of the yield of CO and CO2 on a mixtu
re Of CoMoO4 and Bi2O3.2MoO3. It has been shown that CoMoO4 generates
allyl radicals, which are virtually not desorbed from MoO3, bismuth mo
lybdates, and Fe2O3.3MoO3 into the gas phase.
