Preßlinge auf Basis von pyrogen hergestelltem Siliciumdioxid

摘要

A pressed article (I) is based upon pyrogenically produced silicon dioxide having a pore volume of 0.5-1.8 ml/g. Independent claims are included for: (i) the production of (I) by mixing pyrogenically produced silicon dioxide with methylhydroxyethylcellulose, wax and polyethylene glycol and water followed by extrusion, optionally cutting the extrudate to a desired length, drying at 70-150 degrees C and heating at 400-1200 degrees C for up to 10 hours; (ii) a supported catalyst (II) comprising (I) for the production of vinylacetate monomer, that contains palladium (Pd) and/or Pd compounds and alkali compounds; gold (Au) and/or Au compound (Pd/alkali/Au system) or cadmium (Cd) and/or Cd compounds (Pd/alkali/Cd system) or barium (Ba) and/or Ba compounds (Pd/alkali/Ba system) or Pd, alkali compounds and mixture of Au and/or Cd and/or Ba; and (iii) the production of the catalyst support (II) by soaking, spraying, condensing, dipping or precipitating the Pd, Au, Cd and/or Ba compounds onto (I), optionally reducing the metal, washing to remove the resulting chloride content, impregnating with alkali acetate or alkali compound that is converted under reaction conditions at least partially to alkali acetate.
