Method for producing oxide and method for producing pt/bi composite catalyst

Abstract

The invention relates to a production method for an oxide capable of efficiently producing an oxide of an organic compound in the presence of raw materials for a Pt/Bi composite catalyst, and to a production method for a Pt/Bi composite catalyst capable of producing a catalyst that exhibits a high activity for dehydrogenation oxidation reaction of an organic compound even in the presence of an organic compound to be a raw material for an oxide. The oxide production method includes subjecting an organic compound having one primary hydroxy group to a dehydrogenative oxidation reaction in the presence of Pt supported by a carrier, a Bi ion source and water, under the condition such that the minimum value of the pH during the reaction is less than 7, thereby obtaining an oxide of the organic compound.
