Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for preparing acrylic acid, more specifically, to a method for preparing acrylic acid under a neutral condition at high yield in a short time without using a base, unlike the prior art in which a base is essentially used. The acrylic acid is produced using a supported catalyst having a specific composition when preparing acrylic acid by oxidation of allyl alcohol. Particularly, the preparation method can recover acrylic acid rather than acrylic acid salt as a final product, and thus has an advantage that the overall process cost can be reduced by eliminating essential processes in the prior art, such as ion exchange after the acidification process required for the conversion of acrylic acid salt to acrylic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing acrylic acid, the method comprising oxidizing allyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst at a pH of 6-8, wherein: the catalyst is a supported catalyst in which a metal catalyst is supported on a support; the metal catalyst is selected from the group consisting of an Au-transition metal alloy catalyst, a transition metal catalyst, and a combination thereof; and the support is selected from the group consisting of MgO, Mg(OH) 2 , Al 2 O 3 , cHT (calcined hydrotalcite), hydroxyapatite(Ca 5 (OH)(PO 4 ) 3 ), ZnO, Zr(OH) 2 and a combination thereof. 2. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the supported catalyst is used so that the molar ratio of the allyl alcohol to metal catalyst is 10:1 to 2000:1. 3. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the transition metal is selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt, Zn, Co, Ni, Cr, Fe, Mo, Nb, Mn and a combination thereof. 4. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the metal catalyst has a particle size of 1 to 50 nm. 5. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the supported catalyst has the metal catalyst supported in an amount of 0.0001 to 5 wt % based on the total dry weight of the support. 6. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the supported catalyst is prepared by impregnating the support with a metal catalyst prepared by a colloid nano particle deposition (colloid deposition) method. 7. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the oxidation reaction is performed by injecting an oxidizing gas. 8. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 7 , characterized in that the oxidizing gas is oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas. 9. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 7 , characterized in that the oxidizing gas is injected to a gauge pressure of 1 to 6 bar. 10. The method for preparing acrylic acid according to claim 1 , characterized in that the oxidation reaction is carried out at 10 to 120° C.
