Patent number: 8921257
Abstract: Catalyst compositions including a compound of the following general formula (I): MoVaNbbPtcMdZeOx??(I) a is a number having a value between about 0.15 and about 0.50, b is a number having a value between about 0.05 and about 0.30, c is a number having a value between about 0.0001 and about 0.10, d is a number having a value between about 0.0 and about 0.35, e is a number having a value between about 0 and about 0.10, x is a number depending on the relative amount and valence of the elements different from oxygen in formula (I), M is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ag, Te, and Sb, and Z is one or more element selected from Ru, Mn, Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Y, Zr, Rh, Pd, In, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Ta, W, Re, Ir, Au, Pb, B, and mixtures thereof, where the compositions are capable of simultaneously oxidizing an alkane to a desired product and by-product carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, with only a minor change in catalyst activity and selectivity.

Abstract: A catalyst composition having the formula: Mo1VaSbbNbcMdOx wherein M is gallium, bismuth, silver or gold, a is 0.01 to 1, b is 0.01 to 1, c is 0.01 to 1, d is 0.01 to 1 and x is determined by the valence requirements of the other components. Other metals, such as tantalum, titanium, aluminum, zirconium, chromium, manganese, iron, ruthenium, cobalt, rhodium, nickel, platinum, boron, arsenic, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, calcium, beryllium, magnesium, cerium, strontium, hafnium, phosphorus, europium, gadolinium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, terbium, ytterbium, lutetium, lanthanum, scandium, palladium, praseodymium, neodymium, yttrium, thorium, tungsten, cesium, zinc, tin, germanium, silicon, lead, barium or thallium may also be components of the catalyst. This catalyst is prepared by co-precipitation of metal compounds which are calcined to form a mixed metal oxide catalyst that can be used for the selective conversion of an alkane to an unsaturated carboxylic acid in a one-step process.
