PCT No. PCT/JP94/01356 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 12, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 12, 1996 PCT Filed Aug. 16, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO95/05241 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 23, 1995Disclosed is an ammoxidation catalyst composition for use in producing acrylonitrile from propylene, or methacrylonitrile from isobutylene, by ammoxidation of the propylene or of the isobutylene, comprising an oxide catalyst and a silica carrier having the oxide catalyst supported thereon, wherein the silica carrier is present in an amount of from 40 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the oxide catalyst and the silica carrier. The oxide catalyst comprises oxides of molybdenum, bismuth, iron, and component A which is at least one element selected from potassium, rubidium and cesium, wherein bismuth, iron and component A are, respectively, present in amounts of from 0.1 to 6, from 0.1 to 8 and from 0.01 to 0.5 in terms of atomic ratios relative to twelve atoms of molybdenum. The ammoxidation catalyst composition is prepared by providing a slurry comprised of a silica sol and sources of component metallic elements of the oxide catalyst, and spray-drying the slurry, followed by calcination, wherein the silica sol has an aluminum content of 0.04 or less in terms of an atomic ratio relative to 100 atoms of silicon. By use of the catalyst composition of the present invention, the selectivity for acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile can be significantly improved.
