  • Process for the preparation of a highly active and selective ammoxidation catalyst and its use in preparing heteroaromatic nitriles
    Patent number: 5952508
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of highly active and selective ammoxidation catalyst of formula (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7, TiO.sub.2 or (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, which process comprises refluxing a vanadium source in the presence of alcohols; adding a source of phosphorous to form vanadyl pyrophosphate hydrate (VO).sub.2 H.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.9 or (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7.2H.sub.2 O; Physical mixing of (VO).sub.2 H.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.9 with oxides selected from titania or alumina, and heating the resultant mixture in the presence of air at a temperature in the range of 300-600.degree. C. for a period in the range of 1 to 10 hours; and the use of said ammoxidation catalyst in the preparation of heteroaromatic nitrites.
