Abstract

The invention relates to a process for preparing a catalyst for alkane oxidative dehydrogenation and/or alkene oxidation, which catalyst is a mixed metal oxide catalyst containing molybdenum, vanadium, niobium and optionally tellurium, wherein the process comprises: a) preparing a catalyst precursor containing molybdenum, vanadium, niobium and optionally tellurium; b) optionally contacting the catalyst precursor obtained in step a) with oxygen and/or an inert gas at an elevated temperature; c) contacting the catalyst precursor obtained in step a) or step b) with a gas mixture comprising ammonia and water, which gas mixture further comprises oxygen and/or an inert gas, at an elevated temperature; and d) optionally contacting the catalyst precursor obtained in step c) with an inert gas at an elevated temperature. Further, the invention relates to a catalyst obtainable by said process and to a process of the oxidative dehydrogenation of an alkane containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms and/or the oxidation of an alkene containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms wherein said catalyst is used.
