Abstract

Abstract The preparation of an oxidation catalyst is described, represented by the following general formula: Ni.sub.a Co.sub.b Fe.sub.c Bi.sub.d L.sub.e M.sub.h Mo.sub.f O.sub.g ; in which L is phosphorous, arsenic or boron and M is potassium, rubidium or cesium; and wherein a and b have a value of from 0 to 15, a + b being 2 to 15, c is 0.5 to 7, d is 0.1 to 4, e is 0 to 4, f is 12, g is 35 to 85 and h is 0.01 to 0.5. The oxidation catalyst is useful in a process to produce acrolein by oxidizing propylene in vapor phase.
