Abstract

In this paper, promoter effect of strontium over V catalysts supported on physically mixed Nb2O5–Al2O3 was evaluated for the propane oxidative dehydrogenation to propene. The relationship among acid–base properties, surface species dispersion and catalytic activity was preliminarily established for catalysts prepared by co-impregnation and consecutive impregnation of V and Sr.
