Abstract
Abstract Catalysts containing tungsten, phosphorus, vanadium and molybdenum have been found to be especially effective for the oxidation of unsaturated aldehydes to form the corresponding unsaturated acid. These catalysts may optionally contain one or more of tin, antimony, arsenic, copper, cerium, boron, chromium, iron, nickel, cobalt, uranium, manganese, strontium, silver, rubidium, rhodium, cadmium, bismuth, indium, zinc and lanthanum.
