Effect of Vanadia Loading in Propane Oxidative Dehydrogenation on V2O5/SiO2 Catalysts
The influence of V2O5 loading on the catalytic behaviour of V2O5/SiO2 catalysts in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene (POD) has been investigated. The different activity-selectivity pattern of low (5 wt%) and highly (> 10 wt%) loaded V2O5/SiO2 catalysts is explained in terms of different surface vanadia species.
