Abstract
The ammonium salt of 12-molybdophosphoric acid (AMPA) has been synthesized, in situ, on niobium phosphate by interacting the phosphate of the support with the molybdenum of the salt. The formation of AMPA, with the popular Keggin structure, is confirmed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The in situ synthesized catalysts exhibited higher ammoxidation activity than the bulk AMPA, showing optimum conversion at 10 wt% Mo loading. The selectivity to nitrile increased with increasing loading.
