CATALYST FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ALKYL MERCAPTANS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING IT

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalyst which comprises a support material and an oxidic composition containing at least one alkali metal and tungsten, a process for producing such catalysts and also a process for preparing alkyl mercaptans by reaction of alkanols with hydrogen sulphide in the presence of such a catalyst.

主权项

1. A process for producing a catalyst comprising a support material and an oxidic composition comprising oxygen together with at least one alkali metal and tungsten, the process comprising:
1) mixing of the support material with an oxidic tungsten compound and at least one separate alkali metal compound to obtain a catalyst composition; and 2) shaping of the catalyst composition.
