The present invention provides a catalyst comprising a transition metal, an inorganic support, a zeolite, and a layered double hydroxide. Using of the catalyst according to the present invention in an olefin production process exhibits high activity and high selectivity with decreased deactivation rate, therefore longer reaction cycle can be performed and catalyst life is prolonged.

The present invention relates to a catalyst system comprising a transition metal compound on a solid carrier which is a surface-reacted calcium carbonate. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing said catalyst system and to its use in heterogeneous catalysis.

An olefin production device for producing an olefin from a raw material gas containing methane and oxygen includes a reactor containing: a first catalyst; and a second catalyst disposed downstream of the first catalyst in a flow direction of the raw material gas. The first catalyst is a catalyst in which a zirconium salt or carbonate of an alkali metal, an oxide of an alkaline earth metal, an oxide of one kind of lanthanoid element, a composite oxide containing a lanthanoid element, or a combination thereof is supported on a support. The second catalyst is a catalyst containing a tungsten oxide, phosphate, or carbonate of an alkali metal.

Provided is a formed body containing at least one carbonate compound (A1) selected from Na.sub.2CO.sub.3 or K.sub.2CO.sub.3, the formed body having a volume of pores with a pore diameter of from 0.05 m to 10 m of from 0.10 mL/g to 0.30 mL/g and a crushing strength of from 1.8 kgf to 10.0 kgf.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or ester, preferably ?,? ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids or esters, by the liquid phase reaction of formaldehyde or a suitable source thereof with a non-cyclic carboxylic acid ester in the presence of a basic metal salt.
