METHOD FOR PRODUCING PALLADIUM-GOLD LOADED CATALYST FOR VINYL ACETATE SYNTHESIS

摘要

The present invention provides a technique capable of adjusting the loading positions of gold and palladium in a VAM catalyst by a method of producing a palladium-gold loaded catalyst for vinyl acetate synthesis. The method includes a step of impregnating a spherical porous molded carrier of an inorganic oxide with a mixed aqueous solution containing a palladium precursor as a catalytically active species and a gold precursor as a co-catalyst component, and subsequently impregnating the resultant spherical porous molded carrier with an aqueous alkaline solution to water-insolubilize the palladium precursor and the gold precursor in the spherical porous molded carrier to obtain a palladium-gold immobilized spherical porous molded carrier; and a subsequent step of adjusting the moisture content of the palladium-gold immobilized spherical porous molded carrier.
