Vanadium-Chromium Oxide: Effective Catalysts for Ammoxidation of 3-Picoline

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bulk vanadium-chromium oxide (VCrO) catalyst was prepared and characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, and Raman spectroscopy. XRD and Raman results showed that the VCrO catalyst was a kind of VV-CrIII composite oxide mainly consisted of crystalline V2O5 and CrVO4-Ⅲ (orthorhombic). NH3-TPD and H2-TPR results revealed that this catalyst had negligible surface acidity, and was easily reduced due to the formation of CrVO4-Ⅲ. Their catalytic activity was evaluated in the ammoxidation of 3-picoline to nicotinonitrile. Catalytic results showed that the bulk VCrO catalyst was highly active and selective; the nicotinonitrile selectivity and yield was up to 96.1%, 88.2% respectively at atmospheric pressure and 360 °C. The high selectivity was related closely to the low surface acidity of the catalyst.
