Selective oxidation of isobutylene over Cs-promoted Mo-Bi-Co-Fe-Ce-O catalyst
Cs-promoted Mo-Bi-Co-Fe-Ce-O catalyst for the selective oxidation of isobutylene to methacrolein had been studied in a fixed bed micro-reactor. The selectivity to methacrolein was significantly improved by the addition of Cs, which could probably enhance the dehydrogenation ability and weaken the oxygenation ability of the catalyst based on temperature programmed reduction (TPR) analysis investigation. The kinetic studies indicated that the oxidation of isobutylene to methacrolein followed the first-order kinetic behavior.
