V2O5MoO3 catalysts for benzene oxidation Original Research Article

The paper presents the survey of the work on the catalytic oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride over vanadia-molybdena catalysts. It includes the studies on the phase composition of the catalyst and its transformations under the influence of the changes in redox potential of the gas phase in catalytic reactor, kinetics of the process as well as its molecular mechanism.
