Alkali Earth Metal Molybdates as Catalysts for the Selective Oxidation of Methanol to Formaldehyde—Selectivity, Activity, and Stability

Alkali Earth Metal Molybdates as Catalysts for the Selective Oxidation of Methanol to Formaldehyde—Selectivity, Activity, and Stability

Alkali earth metal molybdates (MMoO<sub>4</sub>, M = Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) were investigated as catalysts for the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde in the search for more stable alternatives to the current industrial iron molybdate catalyst. The catalysts were prepared by eit...
