Molybdenum-based complex oxide catalysts; use thereof for producing (meth)acrolein and (meth)acrylic acid

摘要

A complex oxide catalyst of formula (1):    wherein Mo is molybdenum; W is tungsten; Bi is bismuth; Fe is iron; A is one or more element selected from nickel and coba B is one or more element selected from sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and thallium; C is one or more element selected from alkaline earth metals; D is one or more element selected from phosphorus, tellurium, antimony, tin, cerium, lead, niobium, manganese, arsenic, boron and zinc; E is one or more element selected from silicon, aluminium, titanium and zirconium; and O is oxygen; a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i and x denote the atomic ratios of Mo, W, Bi, Fe, A, B, C, D, E and O, respectively; such that when a is 12, 0≦b≦ 10, 0c≦10, 0d≦10, 2≦e≦15, 0f≦10, 0≦g≦10, 0≦h≦4 and 0≦i≦30, and x is determined by the degree of oxidation of each of the elements, said catalyst being characterized in that the molar ration of total nitrate anions to molybdenum at the time of catalyst preparation is from 1:1 to 1.8:1.
