Abstract
An oxide catalyst comprising the elements Mo, V, Nb and Pd. The novel catalytic system provides both higher selectivity and yield of acetic acid in the low temperature one step vapor phase direct oxidation of ethane with molecular oxygen containing gas without production of side products such as ethylene and CO.
