The substitution of vanadium atoms into the zeolite framework structure could be applied to the large pore zeolites by means of modified treatments as well as direct hydrothermal synthesis. The incorporation of vanadium into the mordenite framework was demonstrated by XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis techniques and tested with catalytic oxidation reactions. These vanadium-containing zeolites have selective catalytic properties in the various oxidation reactions as compared with vanadia-impregnated catalysts.
