Abstract

A catalyst for producing acrylonitrile capable of maintaining a high yield of acrylonitrile for a long time is provided. The catalyst has a composition represented by Mo a Bi b Fe c W d Rb e A f B g C h D i O j (SiO 2 ) k , wherein A is Ni, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd or mixture thereof; B is Al, Cr, Ga, Y, In, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm or mixture thereof; C is Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, Ge, Sn, Pb, Sb, P, B, Te or mixture thereof; D is Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Ag or mixture thereof; SiO 2 is silica, when a is 10, b is 0.1 to 1.5, c is 0.5 to 3.0, d is 0.01 to 2.0, e is 0.02 to 1.0, f is 2.0 to 9.0, g is 0 to 5, h is 0 to 3, i is 0 to 2, k is 10 to 200; and j is the atomic ratio of oxygen determined by the valence of other elements (excluding silicon); and ( a ×2+ d ×2)/( b ×3+ c ×3+ e ×1+ f ×2+ g ×3) is 0.90 to 1.00.
