| abstract |
The present invention relates to a novel catalyst for oxidative esterification, for example, in which (meth) acrolein can be converted to methyl (meth) acrylate. The catalysts of the present invention are characterized by excellent mechanical and chemical stability, especially over very long periods of time. There is an improvement over the prior art catalysts that relatively quickly loses activity and / or selectivity during continuous operation, especially in media with low water content. |
