ABSTRACT:
An oxide catalyst comprising the elements Mo, V and Nb with small amounts of phosphorus, boron, hafnium, Te and/or As. The modified catalyst provides both higher selectivity and yield of acetic acid in the low temperature oxidation of ethane with molecular oxygen-containing gas. A process for the higher selective production of acetic acid by the catalytic oxidation of ethane with oxygen, in the presence of the improved catalyst.
