Mechanism for Selective Oxidation of Ethanol over V-Ti Catalyst
Conference attendances
The selective oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde and acetic acid over a monolayer V2O5/TiO2 catalyst has been studied in situ using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and near ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The data were complemented by temperature–programmed reaction spectroscopy and kinetic measurements in a flow reactor. Based on the obtained data the mechanism for the oxidation of ethanol over vanadia-titania catalysts is developed.
