Abstract The activity and selectivity of a precipitated iron-chromium-molybdenum oxide catalyst (Mo/(Fe + Cr) = 2.5/(0.5 + 0.5)) towards methanol mild oxidation have been studied by a flow-circulation method. Commensurable activity and selectivity with those of the industrial Fe2 (MoO4)3-MoO3 catalysts as well as an enhanced stability have been found. The Mössbauer spectra of fresh and tested catalysts show that during the catalytic reaction a partial reduction occurs and a steady state composition differing from the initial one is formed.
