The deposition of molybdenum and vanadium oxides onto fumed silica, titania, and alumina as supports through dry milling has been carried out. The structure of prepared compositions has been investigated by means of XRD, DTA–TG, FTIR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption. The deposited crystal phases are sufficiently uniformly distributed on support surface. The supported oxides are subjected to dispersion in process of milling to the state of oligomeric or isolated species. Milled bulk and deposited MoO3 (first of all, on alumina) possesses improved catalytic performance in process of epoxidation of 1-octene. Vanadium pentoxide also has higher activity in this process.
