  • Patent number: 9643171
    Abstract: The invention is for a method for making a heteropoly acid compound catalyst from compounds containing molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, cesium, copper, bismuth, antimony and boron in which molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, cesium, copper, bismuth and boron are at their highest oxidation states and antimony has a 3+ oxidation state. The catalyst contains oxides of molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, cesium, copper, bismuth, antimony, boron and, optionally, other metals. The catalyst has the formula: Mo12VaPbCscCudBieSbfBgOx where Mo is molybdenum, V is vanadium, P is phosphorus, Cs is cesium, Cu is copper, Bi is bismuth, Sb is antimony, B is boron, O is oxygen, a is 0.01 to 5.0, b is 0.5 to 3.5, c is 0.01 to 2.0, d is 0.0-1.5, e is 0.0-2.0, f is 0.01-3.0, g is 0.0-4.0 and x satisfies the valences. Molybdenum is reduced by antimony and reoxidized during catalyst synthesis.

  • Patent number: 7485596
    Abstract: The present invention is for a process for making a heteropoly acid compound catalyst for oxidation of unsaturated aldehydes, such as methacrolein, to unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as methacrylic acid, said catalyst containing oxides of molybdenum, phosphorus, and M?, wherein M? is cesium, potassium, rubidium, or sodium, and bismuth. The process is a synthesis of the catalyst with specific process conditions for addition of the bismuth compound as an aqueous slurry without nitric acid. A catalyst precursor is formed by removing the water and drying the solid particles. The heteropoly acid compound catalyst is formed by calcination of the catalyst precursor.
