Abstract
The influence on oxidation activity of the method of preparation of Bi---Mo catalysts and in particular the circumstances during the wet stage (precipitation, slurry reactions between preprecipitated oxyhydrates) have been investigated. It was found that active Bi/Mo = 2/1 catalysts have to be prepared by a slurry reaction starting from what is essentially (BiO) (NO3). Even the application of powdered crystals of compounds with this composition leads to active catalysts. Contrary to previous work, active 1/1 catalysts can only be prepared by precipitation but the phase formed is not stable against prolonged heating at temperatures around 500 °C.
