Bi. Kutepov et Bs. Bal'Zhinimaev, Reasons for the deactivation of vanadia-titania catalysts for partial durene oxidation during prolonged performance, KINET CATAL, 42(3), 2001, pp. 291-300
The catalytic properties of vanadia-titania catalysts and the reasons for t
heir change in the course of durene oxidation to pyromellitic dianhydride a
re studied. The catalysts differ in preparation conditions and the composit
ion of the active component film deposited on a nonporous support. The stab
ility of the catalytic properties in the reaction medium of durene oxidatio
n is mainly determined by the properties of titania precursors.
