Publication number: 20080103332Abstract: A method of manufacturing PTA oxidized catalyst with lower corrosion, the oxidized catalyst is brominated cobalt manganese acetate in solution with a weight ratio of Co/Mn/Br being in a predetermined ratio. When the brominated cobalt manganese acetate in solution meets a condition (Co×2.7)+(Mn×2.9)>Br, CoBr2, MnBr2, cobalt acetate and manganese acetate are used as sources for manufacturing; when the brominated cobalt manganese acetate in solution meets the condition (Co×2.7)+(Mn×2.9)<Br, CoBr2, MnBr2 and micro amount of bromine are used as sources for manufacturing without adding or with adding therein only with micro amount of HBr, corrosiveness of the oxidized catalyst is lowered.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2006Publication date: May 1, 2008Inventor: David YEN
