Abstract
A process for preparation of catalysts for the production of acrylonitrile, acetonitrile and hydrogen cyanide comprising contacting at an elevated temperature, propylene, ammonia and oxygen in the vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst, said catalyst comprising a complex of metal oxides wherein a heat-decomposable nitrogen containing compound is added during the process for the preparation of the catalyst.

- E is at least one element selected from the group consisting of chromium, tungsten, boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, phosphorus, arsenic, and vanadium;
- F is at least one element selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, scandium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, aluminum, gallium, indium, thallium, silicon, germanium, and lead;
- G is at least one element selected from the group consisting of silver, gold, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, platinum and mercury;
- and
- a is from 0.05 to 7,
