PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALCOHOL AND/OR KETONE

摘要

A process for producing from an alkene the corresponding alcohol and/or ketone in a gas phase using an oxide catalyst in the presence of water vapor. The process, which is for producing an alcohol and/or ketone, comprises bringing a feed material comprising an alkene into contact with an oxide catalyst in a gas phase in the presence of water vapor to conduct a reaction, and satisfies the following requirements: (a) the oxide catalyst comprises an oxide of molybdenum and/or tin and (b) during the reaction, the amount of carbonaceous substances accumulated on the oxide catalyst is regulated to 0.1 to 10 wt.%.
