Eurocat V2O5/TiO2 samples containing 1 and 8 wt.-% vanadia have been s
tudied by means of temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). To obtain s
ignificant and comparable results, a standardized parameter set is pro
posed for these measurements. The estimation of the vanadia loading fr
om the hydrogen consumption measurements, assuming the reduction stoic
hiometry V2O5 + 2H2 --> V2O3 + 2H2O, appears to be applicable with rea
sonable reliability.
