Abstract

An oxide catalyst for producing maleic anhydride by vapor phase oxidation of a hydrocarbon having 4 carbon atoms, obtainable by (1) reacting a pentavalent vanadium compound and a pentavalent phosphorus compound in an organic solvent in the presence of a reducing agent capable of reducing the pentavalent vanadium to the tetravalent state to produce the crystalline composite oxide particles containing tetravalent vanadium and pentavalent phosphorus, (2) dry-pulverizing the obtained crystalline composite oxide particles in a high-speed gas flow, (3) mixing the pulverized particles with an aqueous solution containing tetravalent vanadium and pentavalent phosphorus to form a slurry, and (4) spray-drying the slurry and then calcining.
