HIGHLY ACTIVE AND SELECTIVE CATALYTIC SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTION OF UNSATURATED NITRILES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalytic system for the production of nitriles from their corresponding olefins, in particular, for the production of acrylonitrile from propylene.SOLUTION: The invention relates to an improved catalyst for the production of unsaturated nitriles from their corresponding olefins, the catalyst having the atomic ratios described by the empirical formula BiMoVSbNbABO, and methods of using the same.
