Method for producing catalyst for production of unsaturated aldehyde and unsaturated carboxylic acid
View Patent ↗A method for producing a catalyst containing at least molybdenum, bismuth and iron including the steps of kneading particles containing catalyst components, an organic binder and a liquid, where the organic binder contains at least a high-viscosity organic binder having a viscosity of from 5,000 mPa·s to 25,000 mPa·s and a low-viscosity organic binder having a viscosity of from 10 mPa·s to less than 5,000 mPa·s, and extrusion molding the resultant kneaded mixture is provided.
1. A method for producing a catalyst comprising at least molybdenum, bismuth and iron for use in producing an unsaturated aldehyde and an unsaturated carboxylic acid through gas-phase catalytic oxidation of propylene, isobutylene, tertiary butyl alcohol or methyl tertiary butyl ether with molecular oxygen, comprising the steps of:
kneading particles comprising catalyst components, an organic binder and a liquid to form a kneaded mixture; and
extrusion molding the kneaded mixture,
wherein the organic binder comprises at least a high-viscosity organic binder having a viscosity of from 5,000 mPa·s to 25,000 mPa·s and a low-viscosity organic binder having a viscosity of from 10 mPa·s to less than 5,000 mPa·s, wherein viscosity is measured with a 1% by mass water solution or dispersion of the binder at 20° C.
2. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid is added at the time of kneading at a rate of 0.2 parts by mass/min per 1 part by mass of the particles or less comprising the catalyst components.
3. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the liquid is 20° C. or less.
