Abstract
A mixed metal oxide catalytic system comprising MoVNbPd or MoLaVPd providing higher selectivity and space time yield of acetic acid in the low temperature single stage oxidation of ethylene with molecular oxygen-containing gas and steam with very minimum or without the production of side products such as acetaldehyde, and methods of using the same.
