Publication number: 20240408586Abstract: An object is to provide a method for producing a catalyst molded article which is high in mechanical strength and which enables unsaturated aldehyde and/or unsaturated carboxylic acid to be produced at high yield(s). The object is achieved by a method for producing a catalyst molded article, the method including (1) a step of adding an ammonium radical to a slurry (liquid A) including molybdenum and phosphorus, at a rate satisfying the following expression (I), to prepare a slurry (liquid B), 0.1?v/M?3 (I), in which v represents the rate of addition of the ammonium radical [mol/hour], and M represents the mass of the liquid A [kg], (2) a step of adjusting the pH of the liquid B, to prepare a slurry (liquid C) having a pH lower than that of the liquid B by 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Takuro WATANABE, Wataru NINOMIYA, Mitsunobu ITO

Publication number: 20240199804Abstract: Provided is a method for producing at least one type of thermoplastic resin selected from polycarbonate, polyester and polyester carbonate. The method includes a step of subjecting a dihydroxy compound and diaryl carbonate and/or dicarboxylic acid ester to melt polycondensation in the presence of a transesterification catalyst selected from a compound represented by formula (1) and/or formula (2). In formula (1), R1 to R24 are each a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1-10 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group. Some of the carbon atoms may be substituted by heteroatoms. Among R1 to R24, alkyl groups or the like substituted on the same N atom may bond to each other to form a ring. The values of a to d are each 0 or 1. X? is a monovalent anion. In formula (2), Ar1 to Ar12 are each a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group. M? is a monovalent anion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Applicants: Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Agency For Science, Technology & ResearchInventors: Shohei Tomita, Toshiki Monden, Mitsunobu Ito, Cun Wang, Martin Van Meurs, Boon Ying Tay

Patent number: 11084029Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a catalyst ensuring that in the case of causing gas-phase catalytic oxidation of an unsaturated aldehyde and an oxygen-containing gas with use of the catalyst to produce a corresponding unsaturated carboxylic acid, the pressure loss can be kept low and an unsaturated carboxylic acid can be produced with high selectivity. The present invention relates to a ring-shaped or columnar catalyst, which is used at the time of producing a corresponding unsaturated carboxylic acid by causing gas-phase catalytic oxidation of an unsaturated aldehyde and an oxygen-containing gas, wherein the outer peripheral edge part is inclined relative to the center line.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Mitsubishi Chemical CorporationInventors: Kazuharu Tazawa, Yoshimune Abe, Mitsunobu Ito
