Abstract
Abstract Acrolein or methacrolein is produced in a high percent of yield by a catalytic oxidation of propylene or isobutylene in the presence of a catalyst of the empirical formula: Mo10Co0 DIFFERENCE 10Ni0 DIFFERENCE 10Fe0.1 DIFFERENCE 5Bi0.001 DIFFERENCE 3Al0.05 DIFFERENCE 10Ti1 DIFFERENCE 15A0 DIFFERENCE 4O33.2 DIFFERENCE 99 wherein A denotes at least one alkali metal atom and the sum of the numbers of cobalt atoms and the nickel atoms is 1 to 10 per 10 atoms of molybdenum, which catalyst has an excellent crushing strength and exhibits a high catalyst activity.
