  • Catalyst compositions and their use for the preparation of unsaturated carboxylic acids
    Patent number: 4596784
    Abstract: Unsaturated carboxylic acids are prepared by the catalytic vapor phase oxidation of unsaturated aldehydes. A novel process for the preparation of these catalysts is disclosed. The catalyst has the following formula:Mo.sub.12 P.sub.a X.sup.1.sub.b V.sub.c As.sub.d Cu.sub.e Sb.sub.f X.sup.2.sub.g O.sub.xwhereina-g represent the number of atoms of the particular element depicted;X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are other elements; andx is the number of oxygens required to satisfy the valence requirements of the other elements present.

  • Catalyst compositions and their use for the preparation of methacrolein
    Patent number: 4306090
    Abstract: Methacrolein is produced by the catalytic vapor phase oxidation of isobutylene (including compounds converted to isobutylene). The catalyst has the following formula: Mo.sub.a P.sub.b Fe.sub.c Co.sub.d Ni.sub.e Bi.sub.f Te.sub.g Sb.sub.h Cs.sub.i Zr.sub.j X.sub.k O.sub.x wherein a-k represent the number of atoms of the particular element depicted, X is another element and x is the number of oxygens present.
