Catalysts for low temperature selective oxidation of propylene, methods of making and using the same

摘要

A mixed metal oxide catalytic system consisting of molybdenum, vanadium, palladium, lanthanum, niobium and X, wherein X is copper and/or chromium, providing higher yields of acrylic acid and acrolein in the low temperature oxidation of propylene with a molecular oxygen-containing gas without the production of side products such as CO.
