The invention relates to the development of a catalyst for selectively producing acetic acid from a gaseous feedstock of ethane, ethylene or mixtures thereof and oxygen at a low temperature. Said gaseous feedstock is brought together with a catalyst containing the oxides of Mo, V and Nb and nano metallic Pd optionally together with a hetero-poly acid and/or Sb and Ca. The present catalytic system provides both higher selectivity and yield of acetic with minimal production of side products of ethylene and CO.

The instant disclosure relates to a preparation method of ethanol reforming catalyst, comprising the following steps. The first step is mixing a first metal precursor, a second metal precursor, and a third metal precursor with an organic medium to form a mixture. The next step is adding a surfactant to the mixture, and then allowing resting for 3 to 7 days to form a colloidal gel. The next step is calcining the colloidal gel for 1 to 5 hours in a first temperature region of 350° C. to 550° C., and then calcining the colloidal gel for 1 to 5 hours in a second temperature region of 800° C. to 1000° C. to form an ethanol reforming catalyst. The instant disclosure further provides an ethanol reforming catalyst composition.

Abstract:
A process for preparing a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst that comprises a specially made silica-alumina composition and a metal or metal compound selected from Group VIB and Group VIII metals. The silica-alumina composition is made by preparing an aqueous mixture containing aluminum sulfate followed by adding alkali metal aluminate to the mixture to inhance the pH to within specified range and then adding aluminum sulfate to the mixture to lower the pH. Then alkali metal silicate is added followed by several other pH swings to provide a mixture containing silica-alumina. The resulting mixture is treated with an alkaline solution to provide a precipitate solid that is recovered to obtain a silica-alumina composition containing of from 30 to 70% wt silica and of from 70 to 30% wt of alumina.
