Oxidation catalyst
Abstract
Abstract A catalyst for the vapor-phase oxidation of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, alcohol, saturated aliphatic aldehyde or unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde having 4 carbon atoms, said catalyst comprising a molybdovanadophosphoric acid having X-ray diffraction lines (Cu-K.sub.α radiation) at 2θ=about 26.2°, about 10.5°, about 21.3° and about 30.3° and a crystal structure approximating that of its salt, and said catalyst having the composition represented by the general formula P.sub.a Mo.sub.b V.sub.c X.sub.d Y.sub.e O.sub.f wherein the dissociable protons of the molybdovanadophosphoric acid are omitted, X represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, thallium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium, Y represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of copper, silver, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, cobalt, bismuth and zirconium, and the subscripts a to f represent the atomic proportions of the respective elements, provided that when b is 12, a is 0.1-3.0, c is 0-6.0 (exclusive of 0), d is 0-10.0, e is 0-5.0, and f is a value determined by the atomic valences and atomic proportions of the respective elements.
