Palladium-containing catalyst and method for producing same
View Patent ↗The present invention provides: a palladium-containing catalyst which is used for highly selectively or highly productively producing an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid from an olefin or in that way producing an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid from an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde; a method for producing the catalyst; and a method for highly selectively or highly productively producing an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid from an olefin or in that way producing an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid from an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. In particular, the present invention resides in a palladium-containing catalyst comprising 0.001 to 0.40 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal. This catalyst can be preferably produced by a method having a step of reducing a compound containing palladium atom in its oxidized state and tellurium atom in its oxidized state by a reducing agent.
1. A method for producing an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid through liquid-phase oxidation of an olefin with molecular oxygen using a palladium-containing catalyst comprising 0.001 to 0.40 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the palladium metal and the tellurium metal are supported on a carrier.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said catalyst comprises 0.01 to 0.09 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the palladium metal and the tellurium metal are supported on a carrier.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said catalyst comprises 0.003 to 0.25 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the palladium metal and the tellurium metal are supported on a carrier.
7. A method for producing an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid through liquid-phase oxidation of an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde with molecular oxygen using a palladium-containing catalyst comprising 0.001 to 0.40 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the palladium metal and the tellurium metal are supported on a carrier.
9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein said catalyst comprises 0.01 to 0.09 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the palladium metal and the tellurium metal are supported on a carrier.
11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein said catalyst comprises 0.003 to 0.25 mole of tellurium metal to 1.0 mole of palladium metal.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the palladium metal and the tellurium metal are supported on a carrier.
