Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a catalyst and a method for preparing unsaturated carboxylic acid using the catalyst prepared according to the preparation method. According to the method for preparing a catalyst, unsaturated carboxylic acid can be provided from an unsaturated aldehyde with a high conversion rate and selectivity.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing a catalyst represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, comprising the steps of:
mixing and stirring a metal precursor to prepare a slurry;
drying the slurry at 110° C. to 130° C., and grinding, kneading, and conducting first compression molding;
drying the first compression molded material at 110° C. to 130° C., and grinding and conducting second compression molding; and
firing the second compression molded material at 300° C. to 500° C.,
wherein a ligand sublimation rate calculated by the following Mathematical Formula 1 is 0 wt % or more:
ligand sublimation rate (wt %) =amount of sublimed ligand (kg)/amount of ligand before sublimation (kg)*100;  [Mathematical Formula 1]

Mo 12 P a A b B c C d D e E f O g   [Chemical Formula 1]

wherein, in Chemical Formula 1,
A is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of W, V, Nb, and Cr; B is selected from the group consisting of As, B, Sb, Ce, Pd, and Te; C is selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Zr, Rh, Cu, Ti, Ag, and Sn; D is selected from the group consisting of Na, K, Li, Rb, Cs, Ta, Ca, Mg, Sr, and Ba; and E is selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, and Ni, and
a, b, c, d, e, f, and g represent the atomic ratio of each element, where a is 0.5 to 2, b is 0.01 to 10, c is 0 to 15, d is 0.01 to 20, e is 0.01 to 20, f is 0.01 to 15, and g is a value determined by the oxidation state of each atom.

2. The method for preparing a catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the metal precursor comprises a metal and a ligand, and the ligand is one or more selected from the group consisting of NH 3 , NH 2 , NO x (where x is an integer of 1 to 3), Cl, F, N, OH, SO x (where x is 3 or 4), O, CO, COO, SCN, CN, NCS, ONO, C n H m O x (where n is an integer of 1 to 20, m is an integer of 1 to 40, and x is an integer of 1 to 10), and a C1-20 alkoxide.

3. The method for preparing a catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the step of preparing a slurry comprises preparing a slurry from the metal precursor by a coprecipitation method or a hydrothermal method.

4. The method for preparing a catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the slurry is dried at 110° C. to 130° C. for 8 to 20 hours.

5. The method for preparing a catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the first compression molded material is dried at 110° C. to 130° C. for 8 to 20 hours.

6. The method for preparing a catalyst according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of coating the second compression molded material on an inert carrier, after the step of second compression molding.

7. A method for preparing an unsaturated carboxylic acid, comprising the steps of supplying an unsaturated aldehyde to a reactor to which a catalyst prepared according to the method of claim 1 is fixed, and conducting vapor phase oxidation at a temperature of 240° C. to 450° C. and a pressure of 0.1 to 10 atm,
wherein the unsaturated carboxylic acid is methacrylic acid and the unsaturated aldehyde is methacrolein.

8. The method for preparing unsaturated carboxylic acid according to claim 7 , wherein a shell-and-tube heat exchanger type of reactor is used as the reactor.
