Abstract

A process for the preparation of a fluid bed vinyl acetate (VAM) catalyst comprising impregnating a support comprising a mixture of substantially inert microspheroidal particles with a solution comprising a metal salt of Pd and M, wherein M comprises Ba, Cd, Au, La, Nb, Ce, Zn, Pb, Ca, Sr, Sb or mixtures thereof, reducing the metal salts to form a deposit of Pd and M on the support surface and impregnating the support with at least one alkali metal salt. At least 50% of the particles used for the microspheroidal support have a particle size below 105 microns.
