Optimization of vanadium oxide catalyst for oxidation of 3-methylpyridine into nicotinic acid
Main Article Content
Abstract
Upon modification of V2O5 by SnO2 and ZrO2 an increase in activity and selectivity of a vanadium-oxide catalyst in vapor-phase oxidation of 3-methylpyridine into nicotinic acid is observed. It is shown that a promoting effect of SnO2 and ZrO2 is stipulated by an increase, under their effect, of proton affinity of vanadyl oxygen and a decrease in the enthalpy of deprotonation of the methyl group of the substrate, connected by a nitrogen atom with the Lewis acidic center (vanadium ion). The given characteristics are calculated by the quantum-chemical method of the Density Functional Theory. Modification of binary V2O5-SnO2 and V2O5-ZrO2-catalysts by TiO2 addition results in the further increase of vanadyl oxygen nucleophility and, as a consequence, an increase of catalytic activity and selectivity of the nicotinic acid formation.
