A CATALYST WITH PALLADIUM AND GOLD DEPOSIT ON A COPPER CONTAINING COPPER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF VINYL ACETATE

摘要

Synthesying vinyl acetate utilizing a catalyst for the production of vinyl acetate by reaction of ethylene, oxygen and acetic acid comprising a porous support on the porous surfaces of which is deposited metallic copper in a zone surrounded by deposits of catalytically effective amounts of metallic palladium and gold, neither of which is substantially intermingled with said copper.
