The convolution of methanol adsorption on supported vanadate and support surface determined by FTIR and TPD inhibits a full understanding of the mechanism. A new mechanism involving activated methanol adsorption and sequent oxidation of the C-H bond on vanadate sites is proposed, which is consistent with catalyst structure and reactivity.
