Claims
- 1. A catalyst composition comprising a complex of the catalytic oxides of iron, bismuth, molybdenum, nickel, magnesium, cesium, potassium, and optionally one or more of cobalt, manganese, chromium, phosphorous, antimony, tellurium, sodium, cerium and/or tungsten and having the formula:
- A.sub.a K.sub.b Cs.sub.c Mg.sub.d Ni.sub.e Fe.sub.f Bi.sub.g Mo.sub.12 Ox
- wherein
- A is one or more of Co, Mn, Cr, P, Sb, Te, Na, Ce, or W
- wherein
- a is a number from 0 to 5.0;
- b is a number from greater than 0 to 0.4;
- c is a number from greater than 0 to 0.4;
- provided that the sum of b and c is from 0.1 to 0.4;
- d, e, f and g are numbers from 0.2 to 10; and
- x is a number determined by the valence requirements of the other elements present.
- 2. The catalyst composition of claim 1, wherein said catalyst consists essentially of:
- A.sub.a K.sub.b Cs.sub.c Mg.sub.d Ni.sub.e Fe.sub.f Bi.sub.g Mo.sub.12 Ox
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein said catalyst consists of:
- A.sub.a K.sub.b Cs.sub.c Mg.sub.d Ni.sub.e Fe.sub.f Bi.sub.g Mo.sub.12 Ox
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said catalyst is supported on a catalyst support material selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina or mixtures thereof.
