A method for producing butadiene comprises a step of supplying a raw material gas containing 2-butene and an oxygen-containing gas containing molecular oxygen to a reactor filled with a catalyst to obtain a produced gas containing butadiene, wherein the catalyst contains a composite oxide containing molybdenum and bismuth, and a proportion of cis-2-butene in 2-butene in the raw material gas is 30 to 90 mol %.

Methods for producing a carbon-free, PGM-free support for PGM catalyst. The catalytic material comprises PGM metals disposed on a carbon-free support which is catalytic but free of PGM.

A process for preparing a catalyst comprises coating substantial internal surfaces of porous inorganic powders with titanium oxide to form titanium oxide-coated inorganic powders. After the coating, an extrudate comprising the titanium oxide-coated inorganic powders is formed and calcined to form a catalyst support. Then, the catalyst support is impregnated with a solution containing one or more salts of metal selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, cobalt, and nickel.

The present invention provides a catalyst comprising molybdenum, bismuth, and iron, wherein a reduction rate is in a range of 0.20 to 5.00%.

A nanofibrous catalyst for in the electrolyzer and methods of making the catalyst. The catalysts are composed of highly porous transition metal carbonitrides, metal oxides or perovskites derived from the metal-organic frameworks and integrated into a 3D porous nano-network electrode architecture. The catalysts are low-cost, highly active toward OER, with excellent conductivity yet resistant to the oxidation under high potential operable under both acidic and alkaline environments.

The present invention provides a method for producing a catalyst for ammoxidation, comprising steps of: preparing a catalyst precursor slurry comprising a liquid phase and a solid phase; drying the catalyst precursor slurry to obtain dry a particle; and calcining the dry particle to obtain a catalyst for ammoxidation, wherein the solid phase of the catalyst precursor slurry comprises an aggregate containing a metal and a carrier, metal primary particles constituting the aggregate have a particle size of 1 μm or smaller, and an average particle size of the metal primary particles is 40 nm or larger and 200 nm or smaller.

A composite catalyst for coal depolymerization, the catalyst includes an agent A and an agent B. The agent A includes an iron salt-based catalyst, and the agent B includes a metal salt-based catalyst different from the iron salt-based catalyst. The agent A and the agent B are alternately added during use.
