Abstract

A mixed oxide solid composition of formula (I): EQU Mo.sub.12 W.sub.a Bi.sub.b Fe.sub.c Co.sub.d Ni.sub.e Si.sub.f K.sub.g Sn.sub.h O.sub.x (I) where O.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.5, 0.5.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.5, 0.1.ltoreq.c.ltoreq.10, 0.5.ltoreq.d.ltoreq.10, 0.ltoreq.e.ltoreq.10, 0.ltoreq.f.ltoreq.15, 0.ltoreq.g.ltoreq.1, 0.ltoreq.h.ltoreq.2 and x is the quantity of oxygen bonded to the other elements and depends on their oxidation states, is used in the manufacture of acrolein by oxidizing propylene, the solid composition reacting with propylene according to the redox reaction (1): EQU solid.sub.oxidized +propylene.fwdarw.solid.sub.reduced +acrolein(I) To manufacture acrolein, gaseous propylene is passed over a solid composition of formula (I), to conduct the redox reaction (1) by operating at a temperature of 200 to 600.degree. C., at a pressure of 1.01.times.10.sup.4 to 1.01 to 10.sup.6 Pa (0.1 to 10 atmospheres) and with a residence time of 0.01 second to 90 seconds, in the absence of molecular oxygen.
