Abstract
The catalytic oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride over VPO catalyst i n a circulating fluidized bed is studied. The investigation is based on usi ng different rate expressions derived from different catalysts. Performance analysis of conversion and selectivity to maleic anhydride is targeted. Ca talyst developed by Rao and Bej((1)) is superior to the others.
