The invention relates to Pd/K/Au, Pd/K/Ba or Pd/K/Cd supported catalysts built up in the form of an outer layer, the production thereof and the use thereof for preparing vinylacetate from ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase. The specified catalysts are produced by impregnating the support particles with a solution of salts of the corresponding elements and then drying them, with the dynamic viscosity of the solution being at least 0.003 Pa.s and the solution volume in impregnation being more than 80% of the pore volume of the support particles and the duration of the impregnation and also the time until commencement of the drying being selected so as to be sufficiently short for, after completion of the drying, the specified metal salts to be present in an outer layer of from 5% to 80% of the pore volume of the support particles.

The invention relates to Pd/K/Au, Pd/K/Ba or Pd/K/Cd supported catalysts built up in the form of an outer layer, the production thereof and also the use thereof for preparing vinyl acetate from ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase. The catalysts specified are produced by impregnating the support particles, while mixing intimately, with a solution of salts of the corresponding elements and then drying the support particles immediately, with the dynamic viscosity of the solution being at least 0.003 Pa.s and the solution volume in impregnation being from 5 to 80% of the pore volume of the support particles.

Process of preparing vinyl acetate

The invention relates to Pd/K/Au, Pd/K/Ba, or Pd/K/Cd supported catalysts having an impregnated layer structure, the production thereof and also the use thereof for preparing vinyl acetate from ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase. The catalysts specified are produced by spraying the support particles, while mixing intimately with a solution of salt of the corresponding elements in the form of drops having an average diameter of at least 0.3 mm or in the form of liquid jets and then drying the support particles immediately, with the dynamic viscosity of the solution being at least 0.003 Pa.cndot.s and the solution volume in spraying being from 5 to 80% of the pore volume of the support particles.

Supported catalyst, process for its preparation and its use for the preparation of vinyl acetate The invention relates to improved Pd/K/Au, Pd/K/Ba and Pd/K/Cd supported catalysts, their preparation and their use for the preparation of vinyl acetate from ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase. The stated catalysts are prepared by atomizing a solution of corresponding metal salts by means of ultrasonics and then applying them in such limited amounts and within such a limited time to the carrier particles, and beginning to dry them, so that the catalytically active metal salts cannot penetrate into the carrier particles as far as the core but only into a larger or smaller outer part.
