Maleic anhydride (MA) is commercially produced from partial oxidation of n-butane by air over vanadium pyrophosphate (VPP) catalyst. There has been a huge research interest to better understand the different aspects of this industrially attractive reaction including mechanism, dynamic catalyst phase evolutions as well as the effect of redox operating conditions such as gas/solid residence time, temperature, pressure and gas composition on the reaction yield.
