A method for preparing aldehyde from aliphatic olefin in the presence of oxygen and a catalyst containing Sn, P, Li, and O.

Aliphatic olefin oxidation using catalyst containing Sn, P, O, Li

A catalyst consisting essentially of a support which does not lose its integrity when contacted with vapor, water and oxygen under elevated temperature conditions, promoted with 0.05-20 weight percent of (1) at least two different metals active for initiating oxidative reactions selected from the group consisting of the metals of Groups IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB, VIII, IB and VA of the Periodic Table; and (2) a rare earth metal after having been used to purify contaminated water in the presence of molecular oxygen is effectively regenerated by contacting said catalyst with hydrogen under elevated temperature conditions.
