PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ACRYLONITRILE

摘要

A process for the production of acrylonitrile by vapor phase catalytic ammoxidation of propylene in a fluidized bed at a high yield with the use of a multi-component fluidized bed catalyst comprising molybdenum, bismuth, iron, antimony, nickel and alkali metal(s) each carried by silica, which has a high catalytic activity and a high attrition resistance and which does not require any expensive cobalt catalytic component.
