Propane to propene oxide (PO) oxidation over V-containing mesoporous silica of SBA-3 structure has been studied using different oxidants (nitrous oxide, oxygen, and their mixture) in the temperature range 673–773 K. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), as well as X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction with hydrogen (H2 TPR), and low-temperature N2 adsorption/desorption, were applied for characterization of fresh and spent catalysts. XPS spectra and H2 TPR profiles revealed a significant reduction of V-species as a result of propane oxidation with N2O alone, which leads to a decrease in both propane conversion and the space–time yield (STY) of PO. The use of an N2O–oxygen mixture as an oxidant of propane allows the vanadium valence to be stabilized at a level similar to the initial sample, which results in stable activity with time on stream. Propane conversion of 40%, propylene selectivity of 45%, and propylene oxide selectivity of 11%, corresponding to a STY of propylene oxide of about 15 g kgcat-1h?1, have been obtained, which makes these results very promising compared with the data reported in the literature. Vanadium catalyst used with only oxygen results in stable propane conversion with high total oxidation and stable propene selectivity, although the STY of PO is 10 times lower. N2O applied as the only oxidant results in rapid catalyst deactivation, and after 2 h on stream, STY of PO is only 2.5 g kgcat-1h?1.

V-containing mesoporous silica with 3D structure was prepared by a hydrothermal procedure using NH4VO3 as the vanadium precursor and with varied reaction mixture pH values (pH = 3 and pH = 5). The combined use of DR UV-vis and H2-TPR techniques confirmed the successful incorporation of vanadium into the structure of the mesoporous silica material. The number of acid sites, evidenced by ammonia TPD, strongly correlates with the vanadium content. Propene oxidation with N2O revealed the noticeable activity of the synthesised vanadium-containing mesoporous materials in epoxidation reactions. The activity of the synthesized vanadosilicates is compared with the performance of vanadium-supported catalysts (on mesoporous silica of 3D structures) prepared by wet-impregnation method. On the basis of TOF analysis indicating the activity of particular vanadium ions, it was evidenced that although the presence of isolated V species is crucial in propene epoxidation, the availability of the active species is of paramount importance for proper vanadium utilization.

Disclosed are gas-phase ODH and OCP processes for converting alkanes (e.g., C2H6 and C3H8) to alkenes (e.g., C2H4 and C3H6) or oxygenates (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or propylene oxide) or converting alkenes (e.g., ethylene and propene) and oxygenates (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or propylene oxide) to longer carbon-chain alkenes or longer carbon-chain alkanes with or without solid catalysts.
