A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A MIXTURE OF PYRIDINE AND 3-METHYL PYRIDINE

摘要

Pyridine and 3-methyl pyridine are produced by the catalytic reaction of acrolein and acetaldehyde with ammonia in the gas phase. There is used as the catalyst a highly dispersed aluminum silicate containing 3 to 30 weight percent aluminum oxide, a BET surface area of 200 to 800 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.4 to 1.0 cm3/g and a pore diameter of 20 to 100xx 10-8 cm.
