Abstract
Preparation of butyric acid by oxidation of butyraldehyde was studied. Optimal operating conditions were experimentally given as follows: temperature: 50~60℃, mole ratio of oxygen to butyraldehyde: 0.750~0.875, mass ratio of catalyst to butyraldehyde: 0.1%~0.2% and the reaction time about 3 hours. The results showed experimently that the conversion of butyraldehyde was above 99.5% and selectivity of butyric acid was over 95.0% under the above conditions.
