Va. Zazhigalov et al., Effect of conditions for the barothermal synthesis on the properties of vanadium phosphate catalysts, KINET CATAL, 40(1), 1999, pp. 128-131
Different vanadium phosphates can be prepared by a barothermal synthesis fr
om V2O5 and H3PO4 in the presence of water and n-butanol and in the absence
of a solvent. This is an alternative method for the preparation of efficie
nt vanadium phosphate catalysts for the partial oxidation of C-4 hydrocarbo
ns to maleic anhydride.
