CATALYST COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR THE SELECTIVE OXIDATIONOF ETHANE AND/OR ETHYLENE TO ACETIC ACID

摘要

An oxide catalyst composition comprising the elements molybdenum, vanadium, niobium and titanium and a process for making the catalyst composition. A process for the selective oxidation of ethane and/or ethylene to acetic acid using the catalyst composition. The catalyst composition provides high selectivity to acetic acid with reduced selectivity to ethylene.
