CATALYST AND PRODUCTION OF UNSATURATED ALCOHOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst keeping a high yield and high selectivity in continuous reaction and a method for producing unsaturated alcohol using this catalyst. SOLUTION: A powdery catalyst precursor comprising a mixture of a zinc compd. and a compd. of at least one kind of element selected froup group 3A elements or the Periodic Table is produced to be baked and molded and this molded object is further baked to produce a catalyst compsn. consisting of (a) zinc oxide and (b) metal oxide comprising oxide of at least one kind of a metal selected from group 3A metal elements in the same and characterized in that at wt. ratio (a)/(b)=1/0.01-1/1.2 and this catalyst is used to produce unsaturated alcohol.
