Abstract: The two-step calcination method of MoVTeNbO catalysts used in the selective oxidation of propane to acrylic acid was investigated. The results indicated that the two-step calcination method was propitious to obtain highly effective catalysts. The calcination temperatures of every stage affect the phase structure and the catalytic performance of catalysts.
