Abstract

The effect of ball milling on the structure and surface reactivity of the Mn-doped vanadium phosphorus
oxide (V–P–O) catalyst is discussed. Mn-doped VOHPO4·½H2O precursor was prepared via organic method.
The precursor was ball milled in isopropyl alcohol using agate balls for 60 min at 800 rpm. XRD, BET
surface area measurements, SEM, O2-TPD, H2-TPR and TPD of NH3 were used to characterize properties of
the final catalysts. The results revealed that mechanical treatment of Mn-doped V–P–O catalyst increased
surface area as well as reduced particle size of the material. Furthermore, process also increased exposure of
(001) crystallographic plane of VOHPO4·½H2O precursor. The secondary structure of the milled material is
also lost. The total amount of oxygen desorbed (from O2-TPD) and removed (by H2-TPR) from milled material
is higher compared to the unmilled one. The surface acidity of the catalyst was also increased after milling
process, as evidenced by lower desorption temperature and higher total amount of the ammonia desorbed.
