The present invention relates to a novel process for oxidative esterification, generally for reaction of aldehydes with alcohols in the presence of oxygenous gases directly to give the corresponding ester in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, by means of which, for example, (meth)acrolein can be converted to methyl (meth)acrylate. The new catalyst has titanium dioxide as the main component of the support material. The catalysts are especially notable for high mechanical and chemical stability and for good catalytic performance even over very long periods. The process is an improvement in the catalyst service life, activity and selectivity over prior art catalysts which lose activity and/or selectivity relatively quickly in continuous operation in media having even a small water content.
本发明涉及一种氧化酯化的新工艺,一般是指醛与醇在含氧气体存在下直接反应,在异相催化剂存在下生成相应的酯,例如,通过这种方法,(甲基)丙烯醛可以转化为(甲基)丙烯酸甲酯。新型催化剂以二氧化钛作为支撑材料的主要成分。这种催化剂具有很高的机械稳定性和化学稳定性,即使在很长时间内也具有良好的催化性能。与现有技术的催化剂相比,该工艺提高了催化剂的使用寿命、活性和选择性,因为现有技术的催化剂在含水量很小的介质中连续工作时,活性和/或选择性会相对较快丧失。
