Abstract
The present invention produces (meth)acrylic acid in a high yield in a process for producing (meth)acrylic acid by subjecting at least one member selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrolein, propane, and isobutane to catalytic gas phase oxidation with molecular oxygen or a molecular-oxygen-containing gas. In addition, the present invention makes it possible to produce (meth)acrylic acid in a high yield and stably for a long time. The present invention provides a process for producing (meth)acrylic acid by catalytic gas phase oxidation reaction, which is characterized by allowing a reaction gas to contain a reducible compound.
