Abstract
The invention is for a method for making a heteropoly acid compound catalyst from compounds containing molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, cesium, copper, bismuth, antimony and boron in which molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, cesium, copper, bismuth and boron are at their highest oxidation states and antimony has a 3+ oxidation state. The catalyst contains oxides of molybdenum, vanadium, phosphorus, cesium, copper, bismuth, antimony, boron and, optionally, other metals. The catalyst has the formula:MoVPCsCuBiSbBOwhere Mo is molybdenum, V is vanadium, P is phosphorus, Cs is cesium, Cu is copper, Bi is bismuth, Sb is antimony, B is boron, O is oxygen, a is 0.01 to 5.0, b is 0.5 to 3.5, c is 0.01 to 2.0, d is 0.0-1.5, e is 0.0-2.0, f is 0.01-3.0, g is 0.0-4.0 and x satisfies the valences. Molybdenum is reduced by antimony and reoxidized during catalyst synthesis.
