Abstract
A metal oxide catalyst which can produce acrylic acid by a vapor phase catalytic oxidation of propane in high yield and has excellent abrasion resistance is disclosed. The metal oxide catalyst comprises Mo, V, Sb, A (A represents Nb or Ta) and optionally other metals, and is prepared through the following steps (1) and (2):(1) Step of reacting V+5 and Sb+3 at a temperature of 70° C. or higher in the presence of Mo+6 in an aqueous medium, and bubbling an oxygen-containing gas into the reaction solution during or after the reaction; and(2) Step of adding to the reaction product obtained in step (1) a solution containing a compound comprising A and an aqueous solution of nitric acid or ammonium nitrate, uniformly stirring these components, and then calcining the resulting mixture.
