 なお、本発明において「アンモニウム根」とは、アンモニウムイオン(NH )になり得るアンモニア(NH)、およびアンモニウム塩などのアンモニウム含有化合物に含まれるアンモニウムの総称である。 In the present invention, the “ammonium root” is a general term for ammonium (NH 3 ) that can be an ammonium ion (NH 4 + ) and ammonium contained in an ammonium-containing compound such as an ammonium salt.

 本発明によれば、前記式(1)で表される組成を有する触媒を用いることで、メタクリル酸の選択率が向上する。通常、メタクロレインが酸化されメタクリル酸となった後、さらに酸化反応が継続して一酸化炭素や二酸化炭素等が生成する逐次酸化反応が起こる。しかしながら、本発明に係る触媒はこの逐次酸化反応を抑制するため、メタクリル酸の選択率が向上すると考えられる。 According to the present invention, the selectivity of methacrylic acid is improved by using the catalyst having the composition represented by the formula (1). Normally, after methacrolein is oxidized to methacrylic acid, a sequential oxidation reaction occurs in which the oxidation reaction is continued to produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and the like. However, since the catalyst according to the present invention suppresses this sequential oxidation reaction, it is considered that the selectivity of methacrylic acid is improved.
 前記メタクリル酸製造用触媒において、各成分のモル比率が前記式(1)で規定される範囲から外れると、目的生成物であるメタクリル酸の選択率が低下する。前記式(1)において、b=12の時、リンとAの合計量であるa+fは0.5≦a+f≦2.1を満たす。特に、2.1<a+fの場合はメタクリル酸の選択率が大幅に低下する。a+fの下限は0.6以上が好ましく、0.8以上がより好ましく、0.9以上がさらに好ましく、1.3以上が最も好ましい。またa+fの上限は2.0以下が好ましく、1.9以下がより好ましく、1.8以下がさらに好ましい。aは0.5≦aを満たす。aの下限は0.6以上が好ましく、0.7以上がより好ましい。aの上限は1.9以下が好ましく、1.8以下がより好ましい。fは0≦fを満たす。fの下限は0.01以上が好ましく、0.1以上がより好ましい。fの上限は1.0以下が好ましく、0.9以下がより好ましい。 In the methacrylic acid production catalyst, when the molar ratio of each component is out of the range defined by the formula (1), the selectivity of methacrylic acid as the target product is lowered. In the formula (1), when b = 12, a + f which is the total amount of phosphorus and A satisfies 0.5 ≦ a + f ≦ 2.1. In particular, when 2.1 <a + f, the selectivity of methacrylic acid is greatly reduced.

 また、VとNbの合計量であるc+dは0.01≦c+d≦3を満たす。ただし、触媒はNbを少なくとも含み、0≦c、0.01≦d≦3である。c+dの下限は0.1以上が好ましく、0.15以上がより好ましく、0.2以上がさらに好ましい。またc+dの上限は2.5以下が好ましく、2以下がより好ましく、1以下がさらに好ましい。dの下限は0.1以上が好ましく、0.15以上がより好ましく、0.2以上がさらに好ましい。またdの上限は2.5以下が好ましく、2以下がより好ましく、1以下がさらに好ましい。d/(c+d)は0.35≦d/(c+d)≦1を満たすことが好ましい。これによりメタクリル酸の選択率がより向上する。d/(c+d)の下限は0.5以上がより好ましく、0.75以上がさらに好ましく、0.9以上が特に好ましい。 Also, c + d, which is the total amount of V and Nb, satisfies 0.01 ≦ c + d ≦ 3. However, the catalyst contains at least Nb, and 0 ≦ c and 0.01 ≦ d ≦ 3. The lower limit of c + d is preferably 0.1 or more, more preferably 0.15 or more, and further preferably 0.2 or more. The upper limit of c + d is preferably 2.5 or less, more preferably 2 or less, and even more preferably 1 or less. The lower limit of d is preferably 0.1 or more, more preferably 0.15 or more, and further preferably 0.2 or more. The upper limit of d is preferably 2.5 or less, more preferably 2 or less, and even more preferably 1 or less. d / (c + d) preferably satisfies 0.35 ≦ d / (c + d) ≦ 1.

The upper limit of e is preferably 2 or less, more preferably 1 or less, and further preferably 0.5 or less.

Normally, after methacrolein is oxidized to methacrylic acid, a sequential oxidation reaction occurs in which the oxidation reaction is continued to produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and the like. However, since the catalyst obtained from the catalyst precursor according to the present invention suppresses this sequential oxidation reaction, it is considered that the selectivity of methacrylic acid is improved.
 前記メタクリル酸製造用触媒前駆体において、各成分のモル比率が前記式(2)で規定される範囲から外れると、目的生成物であるメタクリル酸の選択率が低下する。前記式(2)において、b=12の時、リンとAの合計量であるa+fは0.5≦a+f≦2.4を満たす。特に、2.4<a+fの場合はメタクリル酸の選択率が大幅に低下する。a+fの下限は0.6以上が好ましく、0.8以上がより好ましく、0.9以上がさらに好ましく、1.3以上が最も好ましい。またa+fの上限は2.2以下が好ましく、2.0以下がより好ましく、1.8以下がさらに好ましい。aは0.5≦aを満たす。aの下限は0.6以上が好ましく、0.7以上がより好ましい。aの上限は1.9以下が好ましく、1.8以下がより好ましい。fは0≦fを満たす。fの下限は0.01以上が好ましく、0.1以上がより好ましい。fの上限は1.0以下が好ましく、0.9以下がより好ましい。 In the methacrylic acid production catalyst precursor, when the molar ratio of each component deviates from the range defined by the formula (2), the selectivity of the target product methacrylic acid decreases.
