Vanadium - antimony - mixed oxide catalyst its preparation and method for the partial oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes

摘要

The present invention relates to a vanadium - antimony - mixed oxide catalyst, its preparation and a process for the partial oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes with the use of this catalyst. The catalyst consists of a catalytically active vanadium - antimony - proportion by weight and a shaped bodies of silicic acid, which as a carrier for the catalytically active vanadium - antimony - proportion by weight is used. The moulded body is made of highly pure pyrogenic silicic acid prepared without the addition of binders.
