Abstract
A process for producing a precursor of a phosphorus-vanadium oxide catalyst for production of maleic anhydride by vapor phase oxidation of a hydrocarbon having 4 carbon atoms, which comprises reacting phosphoric acid and a pentavalent vanadium compound in an organic solvent capable of reducing at least a portion of the pentavalent vanadium to a valence state of +4, the phosphoric acid being substantially composed of orthophosphoric acid, and a phosphoric acid solution whose concentration is 88 to 96% being used as a source of the phosphoric acid; and a process for producing the catalyst comprising dry-pulverizing the catalyst precursor.
