Determination of the chemical composition of supported vanadium-containing oxide catalysts by the differential dissolution method

The results of the application of the stoichiographic method of differential dissolution (DD) in the determination of the chemical composition of vanadium-containing catalysts are presented. In the studied catalyst series, amounts of vanadium were deposited onto TiO₂, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, and Nb₂O₅. The catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method or by the spray drying method and thermally treated at different temperatures. The DD method was used for the precise correction of the phase composition of the V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst samples in order to determine the nature of the active component of these catalysts and obtain the correct information on their structure using the NMR method.
