摘要： A method for maufacturing of an improved attrition resistant catalyst having an oxide-rich surface layer involving forming a slurry comprising; catalyst, catalyst precursor or catalyst support particles (e.g., transition metal oxides), a colloidal oxide sol (e.g., colloidal silica), and a solution of a solvent and solute wherein the solute consists essentially of a precursor of said oxide-rich surface with particle size no greater than 5 nm (e.g., aqueous silicic acid or polysilicic acid) and then spray drying the slurry to form porous microspheres of attrition resistant catalyst; and, calcining the spray dried microspheres. Such a catalyst is particularly useful in oxidation processes wherein the oxidation is performed by an oxidized form of the catalyst and the resulting reduced form of the catalyst is separately regenerated (e.g., two-step vapor phase processes carried out in recirculating solids reactors, transport bed reactors or circulating fluidized bed reactors and the like).
