Direct oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein over V-MCM-41 catalysts
High vanadium content mesoporous vanado-silicates with MCM-41-like structure, obtained by the atrane route, catalyse the direct oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein with 30% selectivity, and a total dehydrogenation (olefin plus methacrolein) selectivity up to 74%.
