Process for making bismuth-vanadium-molybdenum-containing compositions

摘要

This invention relates to a process for making a bismuth-vanadium-molybdenum-containing composition comprising: (A) preparing three separate aqueous compositions comprising: a first aqueous composition having a pH in the range of about 0.5 to about 4; a second aqueous composition comprising bismuth and having a pH in the range of about 0.2 to about 3; and a third aqueous composition comprising at least one salt of vanadium and at least one salt of molybdenum and having a pH in the range of about 9 to about 14; (B) adding said second aqueous composition and said third aqueous composition simultaneously to said first aqueous composition to form a fourth aqueous composition, and maintaining said fourth aqueous composition at a temperature in the range of about 30 DEG C. to about 90 DEG C. for up to about 4 hours, said fourth aqueous composition comprising precipitated solids; (C) separating said solids from said fourth aqueous composition; and (D) heating said solids at a temperature in the range of about 250 DEG C. to about 675 DEG C. for about 0.5 to about 30 hours to provide said bismuth-vanadtum-molybdenum-containing composition. This invention also relates to bismuth-vanadium-molybdenum-containing compositions made by the foregoing process, and to colored compositions containing such bismuth-vanadium-molybdenum-containing compositions.
