Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a catalyst composition comprising a mixed oxide of vanadium, titanium, and phosphorus modified with alkali metal. The titanium component is derived from a water-soluble, redox-active organo-titanium compound. The catalyst composition is highly effective at facilitating the vapor-phase condensation of formaldehyde with acetic acid to generate acrylic acid, particularly using an industrially relevant aqueous liquid feed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A process for preparing a 2,3-unsaturated carboxylic acid, comprising: contacting a formaldehyde source with a carboxylic acid in the presence of a condensation catalyst under vapor-phase condensation conditions to obtain the 2,3-unsaturated carboxylic acid, wherein the condensation catalyst comprises a mixed oxide of vanadium (V), titanium (Ti), phosphorus (P), and alkali metal (M), and wherein the titanium component is derived from an organo-titanium compound, wherein the organo-titanium compound is titanium(IV) bis(ammonium lactate)dihydroxide. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the formaldehyde source is formaldehyde, 1,3,5-trioxane, dimethoxymethane, or diacetoxymethane and the carboxylic acid is acetic acid or propionic acid. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the formaldehyde source is an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, 1,3,5-trioxane, dimethoxymethane, or diacetoxymethane and the carboxylic acid is acetic acid or propionic acid. 4. The process according to claim 3 , wherein the aqueous solution comprises from 30 to 65 weight percent of formaldehyde. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal is selected from at least one of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. 6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal comprises potassium. 7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst composition further comprises a pre-shaped support.
