CATALYST FOR METHACRYLIC ACID PRODUCTION, COATED CATALYST, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A catalyst for producing methacrylic acid from methacrolein through vapor-phase catalytic oxidation which comprises as essential active ingredients molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, and copper, characterized by being one obtained using copper acetate as all or part of the copper material necessary for the catalyst preparation. By using the catalyst, methacrolein can be reacted at a high conversion and methacrylic acid can be produced with high selectivity. The catalyst is usable also in reactions under high-load conditions.
