Abstract
The present invention relates to AB2O4 type mixed metal oxide catalyst system having spinel/inverse spinel structure with support. The present invention also relates to the process for preparation of mixed metal oxide catalyst system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for the partial oxidation of alkanes to value added products and corresponding oxygenates by using said AB2O4 type mixed metal oxide catalyst with support(s).
Claims15
