MOLYBDENUM-CONTAINING CATALYST, METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION AND METHOD TO PRODUCE METHYL MERCAPTAN Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B01J23/28 B01J23/887 B01J27/57 C07C321/04 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a catalyst and to a method to produce methyl mercaptan in its presence. A catalyst is described on a carrier, which contains a) compound of molybdenum and potassium as active components, besides, molybdenum and potassium may represent components of a single compound; b) a promotor including TeO₂, and c) oxide carrier. The method to produce methyl mercaptan is described in catalytic process by reaction of carbon oxides, for instance, CO, CO₂, or their mixtures, sulfur and/or hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen, in which the reaction takes place in presence of the above described catalyst.

EFFECT: increased activity of catalyst.
