abstract
The oxidation of propylene to acrolein over bismuth molybdate has been studied in a flow reactor at atmospheric pressure and 425 C. Particular attention was placed on an examination of the pathway for the complete oxidation to carbon dioxide and on the various side reactions that ordinarily occur during the reaction. By adding unlabeled and C-14 labeled acrolein to the feed gas, the formation of carbon dioxide was shown to be due primarily to the consecutive oxidation of acrolein.
