    Abstract: PREPARATION OF MALEIC ANHYDRIDE FROM FOUR-CARBON HYDROCARBONS Maleic anhydride is produced by the oxidation of n-butane, n-butenes, 1,3-butadiene with molecular oxygen in the vapor phase in the presence of catalysts containing molybdenum, phosphorus, oxygen and the following components delineated in Groups I to IV: (I) bismuth, copper and a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine or iodine; or (II) arsenic and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Sn, rare earth metal, Zr, Rh, Mn, Re, Ru, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ti, Cr, Nb, Al, Ga and alkaline earth metal; or (III) at least one element selected from the group consisting of As, Rb, Pd, Cd, Cs, Tl and In; or (IV) rubidium, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Sn, rare earth element, Ni, Zr, Ba, Fe, Rh, Mn, Re, Ru, Co and Cu.

    Abstract: PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF UNSATURATED ACIDS FROM UNSATURATED ALDEHYDES Methacrylic acid or acrylic acid are produced by the oxidation of methacrolein or acrolein respectively, with molecular oxygen in the vapor phase in the presence of a catalytic oxide of molybdenum, phosphorus, and promoted with chromium or at least one element selected from the group consisting of thallium, rubidium, cesium, potassium, titanium and arsenic, or a mixture thereof, wherein at least part of the molybdenum employed in the preparation of the catalyst is supplied in the form of molybdenum trioxide. The oxidation of methacrolein in the presence of a catalyst wherein all the molybdenum employed in the preparation of the catalyst has been supplied by molybdenum trioxide gives especially desirable high yields and selectivities to methacrylic acid.
