A series of Mo/Nb2O5–TiO2catalysts with Mo loadings ranging from 1 to 10wt.% were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), pulse oxygen chemisorption, laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). XRD patterns indicate the presence of a crystalline MoO3phase beyond 7wt.% Mo on Nb2O5–TiO2. Molybdena is found to be present in a highly dispersed state at lower Mo loadings. Pulse oxygen chemisorption results reveal that the oxygen uptake is found to increase with Mo loading up to 5wt.% and levels off at higher loadings. Temperature-programmed reductions of H2suggest that reduction of the catalysts occurs in two stages. The reducibility of Mo/Nb2O5–TiO2catalysts decreases with increase of Mo loading on the support. Laser Raman spectra shows that the surface molybdate species are present at low Mo loading (<5% Mo) and crystalline MoO3bands are observed from 7wt.% of Mo and above loadings. The catalytic activity during ammoxidation of toluene increases with molybdena loading up to 5wt.%, which corresponds to monolayer coverage and remains unchanged at higher Mo loadings. A linear correlation is observed between catalytic activity and oxygen chemisorption sites.
