Abstract:Supported Au catalysts have been the focus of oxidation esterification of methylacrolein (MAL) to methyl methacrylate (MMA) in recent years, but most of them have difficulty in achieving both high conversion and high selectivity.Here, we report an easily prepared catalyst-loaded Au on NiOdecorated MgO−Al 2 O 3 , using which resulted in 97.7% MAL conversion and 91.9% MMA selectivity. XPS showed that Au existed mainly as Au 0 , while Ni existed as NiO. The addition of appropriate amounts of Ni reduced the bindin… Show more
