Abstract
An improvement in the oxidation catalyst used for the partial oxidation of n-butane and containing vanadium and phosphorus mixed oxides which comprises adding a zinc compound in an amount of from about 0.15 to 0.001/l Zn/V to the catalyst during the digestion of the reduced vanadium component by concentrated phosphoric acid. The addition of zinc produces a catalyst which is more easily activated and which is very stable to heat upset of the reaction system. Small amounts of lithium and silicon compounds also have additional desirable catalytic effects without dimunition of the zinc compound benefit.
