Abstract

A catalyst for producing unsaturated aldehyde and unsaturated carboxylic acid, wherein the cumulative pore volume (A) of pores having a pore diameter of 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, in the catalyst, is 0.12 ml/g or more and 0.19 ml/g or less, and the ratio (A/B) of the cumulative pore volume (A) to the cumulative pore volume (B) of pores having a pore diameter of 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, in a pulverized product not passing through a Tyler 6 mesh, in a pulverized product obtained by pulverization of the catalyst under a particular condition is 0.30 or more and 0.87 or less.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A catalyst for producing unsaturated aldehyde and unsaturated carboxylic acid,
wherein the catalyst comprises molybdenum (Mo), bismuth (Bi), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe),
wherein
a cumulative pore volume (A) is based on pores having a pore diameter of 1 to 100 μm in the catalyst prior to pulverization,
a cumulative pore volume (B) is based on pores having a pore diameter of 1 to 100 μm, in a pulverized product not passing through a Tyler 6 mesh after pulverization,
the cumulative pore volume (A) is 0.12 ml/g or more and 0.19 ml/g or less, and
the ratio (A/B) of the cumulative pore volume (A) to the cumulative pore volume (B) in a pulverized product obtained by pulverization of the catalyst under a pulverization condition A is 0.30 or more and 0.87 or less;
Pulverization condition A
one hundred g of the catalyst is charged into a tumbling granulator which comprises a cylindrical body vertically secured and a disk horizontally disposed at a lower end of the cylindrical body and which allows for rotation movement and revolution movement of a particle by rotation of the disk around the center of the cylindrical body, operation of the disk is started at a relative centrifugal acceleration of 12 G and accelerated to a relative centrifugal acceleration of 130 G over 1 minute, and rotation of the disk is continued at a relative centrifugal acceleration of 130 G for 2 minutes; wherein
the relative centrifugal acceleration is defined as a numerical value expressed as the ratio of the magnitude of a centrifugal force applied to a unit weight of the catalyst, to gravity acceleration, and is represented by the following Equation (X):
F= 1118× r×N 2 ×10 −8   Equation (X)

F: relative centrifugal acceleration (G),
r: distance (cm) from center of rotation to lower end of cylindrical body,
N: rate of rotation (rpm).

2. The catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst comprises molybdenum (Mo), bismuth (Bi), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe), and the atomic ratio among molybdenum (Mo), bismuth (Bi), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe) in the catalyst satisfies the following Formula (1):
Mo a Bi b Co c Ni d Fe e   (1)

wherein a to e represent the atomic ratio with respect to each of elements, a=12, b=0.5 to 7, c=0.1 to 10, d=0.1 to 10 and e=0.05 to 5.

3. The catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the catalyst consists essentially of molybdenum (Mo), bismuth (Bi), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe).

4. The catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the catalyst consists of molybdenum (Mo), bismuth (Bi), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe).

5. The catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst comprises a carrier.

6. The catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst has a spherical shape.

7. A method for producing acrolein and acrylic acid, comprising:
performing catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene and oxygen-containing gas by using the catalyst according to claim 1 .
