Abstract
A process for the preparation of carbonyl compounds by the oxydehydrogenation of (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alcohols is carried out at a temperature from 400.degree. to 700.degree. C. in the presence of a silicate catalyst which has been doped with silver and silver ions. By means of the process carried out at relatively low temperatures, for example, are that high yields are achieved, the content of carbon monoxide is low and the product gas contains, apart from carbon dioxide, no further determinable by-products and has a low water/formaldehyde ratio.
