Abstract
Production of acrylic acid by oxidation of acrolein with gas containing oxygen in the gas phase at elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst which, in addition to oxygen, consists essentially of (a) molybdenum, (b) tungsten, (c) vanadium and (d) iron and/or copper. The atomic ratio of molybdenum:tungsten:iron and/or copper is 1 to 20:0.01 to 10:1 and the atomic ratio of vanadium:molybdenum is 0.2 to 6:6. Acrylic acid is an important starting material for the production of high polymers.
