Abstract

Bismuth salts of an arseno heteropolyacid, e.g. bismuth arsenomolybdate, arsenomolybdovanadate, arsenovanadotungstate and arsenomolybdotungstate are used as catalysts in the preparation of acrylonitrile from propylene, oxygen ammonia and water vapour at a temperature between 250 DEG and 600 DEG C. Examples describe the preparation of (1) bismuth arsenomolybdate by dissolving arsenic trioxide in an ammonia solution of molybdenum trioxide, concentrating and adding aqueous silica sol. followed by bismuth nitrate in nitric acid solution (2) bismuth arsenomolybdovanadate by adding molybdenum trioxide and arsenic pentoxide to a solution of ammonium metavanadate, adding silica sol. and finally a bismuth nitrate pentahydrate-nitric acid solution (3) bismuth arsenovanadotungstate by adding arsenic pentoxide to a mixture of tungstic oxide and vanadium pentoxide solution in caustic soda, boiling acidifying with sulphuric acid, separating the complex, adding silica sol. and finally bismuth nitrate solution (4) bismuth arsenomolybdotungstate by adding arsenic pentoxide to a mixture of tungstic oxide and ammonium molybdate solutions in caustic soda, boiling and adding hydrochloric acid aqueous silica sol. and finally bismuth nitrate in nitric acid solution. The solutions thus prepared are evaporated to dryness, heated for 18 hours at 540 DEG C. and finally ground to suitable size. The catalyst may be used as a fluidized bed, for example in a heated reactor tube of 1 inch diameter at from 400 DEG to 490 DEG C.ALSO:Acrylonitrile is prepared by contacting propylene, oxygen, ammonia, and water vapour at a temperature in the range of 250 DEG C. to 600 DEG C., in the presence of a bismuth salt of an arseno heteropolyacid as a catalyst. Arsenomolybdic, arsenotungstic and arsenovanadic or mixed heteropolyacids thereof are specified. They are preferably supported on a silica, kieselguhr, or alumina carrier, and a fluidised bed may be used. Air may be the source of oxygen and the propylene may be from the C3 stream from petroleum refinery or oil cracking which may include propane. The products mainly acrylonitrile and by-product acetonitrile are separated by conventional methods.
