An investigation into the partial oxidation of C-4 alkanes over vanadyl pyrophosphate and heteropoly acids

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Two different partial oxidation catalysts for paraffin functionalisation were studied: the vanadyl pyrophosphate catalyst for the conversion of n-butane to maleic anhydride and the heteropoly acid catalyst for the conversion of isobutane to methacrylic acid.
