Synthesis of a MoVNbTe catalyst having a reduced niobium and tellurium content and higher activity for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane

摘要

A novel mixed oxide material is disclosed which contains molybdenum, vanadium, tellurium and niobium and the use of the molybdenum mixed oxide material as catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethene or the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid and a process for producing the mixed oxide material.
