Selective oxidation of propylene to acetone over supported vanadia catalysts
A 10% V2O5/TiO2 catalyst showed a pronounced catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of propylene to acetone and the formation of isopropoxy species from the adsorption of propylene was found to be the rate-limiting step.
