Abstract:
Very desirable oxidation catalysts are prepared by impregnating a catalytic oxide matrix containing at least cobalt and molybdenum, magnesium and molybdenum, nickel and mulybdenum, manganese and molybdenum with iron, bismuth, tellurium or a mixture thereof.
Abstract:
High per pass conversions to acrylonitrile and acrylic acid or methacrylonitrile and methacrylic acid and desirable commercial flexibility are realized by reacting propylene or isobutylene with molecular oxygen and about 0.1 to about 0.9 moles of ammonia per mole of olefin in the presence of two catalysts. The first catalyst is an ammoxidation catalyst, and the second catalyst is an oxidation catalyst.
