Abstract

Oxidation of toluene vapors over fused bismuth vanadate catalysts of various compositions in fixed bed has been studied. The optimum conversion of toluene to benzaldehyde is related to the Bi2O3 content of the catalyst. The composition Bi2O3−V2O5(25∶75) and Bi2O3−V2O5 (40∶60) are highly active and selective for the oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde.

Abstract

Было исследовано окисление паров толуола на сплавленном катализаторе висмута и ванадия с различным составом в неподвижном слое. Оптимальные превращения толуола в бензальдегид сравниваются с содержанием Bi2O3 в катализаторе. Катализаторы с составами Bi2O3∶V2O5, равными 25∶75 и 40∶60, оказались высокоактивными и селективными к окислению толуола до бензальдегида.
