Acrylonitrile is produced from propylene in an excellent percent conversion of propylene, percent selectivity to acrylonitrile and percent yield of acrylonitrile, by bringing, at an elevated temperature, a reaction feed containing propylene, molecular oxygen and ammonia, each in gas phase, into contact with a catalyst consisting essentially of an oxide composition of the empirical formula: MoaCobNicFedBieXdTigOh wherein X represents at least one atom of an element selected from vanadium and tellurium; the subscripts a, b, c, d, e, f and g respectively denote the numbers of the respective atoms of the elements, the ratio a:b:c:d:e:f:g being in the range of 10:0 to 10:0 to 10:1 to 7:0.08 to 1.1:0.01 to 1:1 to 15, and the ratio of a to the sum of b and c being in a range of 10:3 to 10, and; the subscript h represents the number of oxygen atoms which satisfies the average valency of the elements, the ratio a:h being in a range of 10:36.7 to 84.1. |
