Abstract

V–P mixed oxide catalysts prepared by evaporation method was made up of a mixture of an amorphous phase with P/V = 2.0 and a crystalline phase of (VO)₂P₂O₇. The amorphous phase, separated from the (VO)₂P₂O₇ particles by dissolving the precursor in boiled water, was found to show essentially the same selectivity and activity per unit surface area for the maleic anhydride formation from butane as the unseparated catalyst.
