Abstract
Abstract An improved process was found for preparing a vanadiumcontaining catalyst wherein a tetravalent vanadium compound is provided from a pentavalent vanadium compound, comprising contacting the pentavalent vanadium compound with a trivalent phosphorus compound. The improved process is exemplified by the preparation of phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalysts, and particularly the preparation of phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalysts having a phosphorus to vanadium atom ratio of about 1:2 to about 2:1 comprising contacting a vanadium compound with a trivalent phosphorus compound, recovering a phosphorus-vanadiumoxygen precursor, and thereafter, calcining the precursor to form the catalysts. Phosphorous acid is preferred as the trivalent phosphorus compound.
