Partial Oxidation of Propane to Oxygenates in Dense CO2 Phase Using (VO)2P2O7 as Catalyst

The heterogeneously catalyzed, direct partial oxidation of propane to acrylic acid seems a promising alternative to the conventional two‐step synthesis using propene as starting material, yet until now, the industrial application of the direct oxidation of propane to its oxygenates has been limited...

Description
Summary:The heterogeneously catalyzed, direct partial oxidation of propane to acrylic acid seems a promising alternative to the conventional two‐step synthesis using propene as starting material, yet until now, the industrial application of the direct oxidation of propane to its oxygenates has been limited by poor product yields. The objective of this work, therefore, was to investigate the application of (VO)2P2O7 catalysts for the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid in dense CO2 phase.
