Selective Oxidation of Light Alkanes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 44))

Abstract

The main features concerning the selective activation of light alkanes are described and discussed for heterogeneous catalysts based on oxides and phosphates. These key features are then exemplified using the oxidation of alkanes over vanadium phosphate catalysts, in particular for the oxidation of butane to maleic anhydride. In the final part of the paper a simplified approach for the design of novel catalyst systems, based on D/H and 18O2/16O2 exchange reactions, is described and exemplified.
