[DESCRIPTION] [Invention Title] MULTI-METAL OXIDE CATALYST AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING (METH)ACRYLIC ACID BY USING THE SAME [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a Mo-Bi-Nb based composite metal oxide(multi-metal oxide), and a method for producing (meth)acrylic acid from propylene or the like by using the Mo-Bi-Nb based composite metal oxide as a catalyst. Further, the present invention relates to a method for producing (meth)acrylic acid from propylene or the like by an one-step catalyst reaction. This application claims priority from Korea Patent Application No. 10-2006-71061 filed on July 27, 2006 in the KIPO, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background Art] A process for producing an unsaturated fatty acid from olefin by way of an unsaturated aldehyde is a typical process of gas-phase catalytic oxidation. Particular examples thereof include a process of producing (meth)acrylic acid from a staring material such as propylene, propane, isobutylene, t-butyl alcohol or methyl-t-butyl ether (referred to as 'propylene or the like', hereinafter) by way of corresponding (meth)acrolein. In this connection, in the first step of partially oxidizing olefins to unsaturated aldehyde, 1 composite metal oxides containing molybdenum and bismuth are generally used as a catalyst. In the second step of partially oxidizing the unsaturated aldehyde, which is a main product of the first step, to unsaturated fatty acid, composite metal oxides containing molybdenum and vanadium are used as a catalyst. More particularly, in the first step, propylene or the like is oxidized by oxygen, inert gas for dilution, water steam and a certain amount of a catalyst, so as to produce (meth)acrolein as a main product. Then, in the second step, the (meth) acrolein is oxidized by oxygen, inert gas for dilution, water steam and a certain amount of a catalyst, so as to produce (meth)acrylic acid. The catalyst used in the first step is a Mo-Bi based multinary metal oxide, which oxidizes propylene or the like to produce (meth)acrolein as a main product. Also, some (meth)acrolein is continuously oxidized on the same catalyst to partially produce (meth)acrylic acid. The catalyst used in the second step is a Mo-V based multinary metal oxide, which mainly oxidizes (meth)acrolein of the mixed gas containing the (meth)acrolein produced from the first step to produce (meth)acrylic acid as a main product. A reactor for performing the aforementioned process is provided either in such a manner that both the two-steps can be performed in one system, or in such a manner that the two steps can be performed in different systems. As mentioned above, the first-step catalyst involved in gas-phase partial oxidation using propylene or the like as a starting material is the Mo-Bi based multi-metal oxide, with which (meth)acrolein is produced as a main product and 10% or less of (meth)acrylic acid is produced. 2 As disclosed in JP-A-8-3093, a conventional first-step catalyst is a composite oxide represented by the formula of Moa-Bib-Fec-Ad-Be-Cf Dg-Ox (wherein Mo, Bi and Fe represent molybdenum, bismuth and iron, respectively; A is nickel and/or cobalt; B is at least one element selected from the group consisting of manganese, zinc, calcium, magnesium, tin and lead; C is at least one element selected from the group consisting of phosphorus, boron, arsenic, Group 6B elements in the Periodic Table, tungsten, antimony and silicon; D is at least one element selected from the group consisting of potassium, rubidium, cesium and thallium; when a=12, 0 Preparation Example 1: Catalyst 1 2500 ml of distilled water was heated and stirred at 70 to 85 °C and 1000 g of ammonium molybdate was dissolved therein to form a solution 1. Then, 274 g of bismuth nitrate, 228 g of ferrous nitrate and 2.3 g of potassium nitrate were added to 400 ml of distilled water, the materials were mixed thoroughly, 71 g of nitric acid was added thereto, and the materials were dissolved sufficiently to form a solution 2. 686 g of cobalt nitrate was dissolved in 200 ml of distilled water, so as to form a solution 3. After mixing the solution 2 with the solution 3, the mixed solution was further mixed with the solution 1 while the temperature was maintained at 40 to 60 °C, so as to provide a catalyst suspension. 14 The catalyst suspension was dried and the obtained cake-shaped solid was pulverized into a size of 150 μm or less. The resultant catalyst powder was mixed with a predetermined amount of water for 2 hours, and formed into a cylindrical shape. The catalyst was formed to have a diameter of 5.0 mm and a height of 5.0 mm, and calcined at 5001) for 5 hours under the air, resulting in a catalyst 1. The produced catalyst had the elemental composition of except oxygen. The resulting catalyst had the following elemental composition except oxygen: Mo12 Bi1..2 Fe1..2 CO5 K0.05 Preparation Example 2: Catalyst 2 Catalyst 2 was provided in the same manner as described in Preparation Example 1, except that 64 g of niobium chloride were further added to form a solution 1. The resulting catalyst had the following elemental composition except oxygen: Mo12 Nb0.5 Bi1..2 Fe1..2 C05 K0.05 Preparation Example 3: Catalyst 3 Catalyst 3 was provided in the same manner as described in Preparation Example 1, except that 64 g of niobium chloride were further added to form a solution 1 and the molded catalyst was allowed to have a diameter of 7 mm and a height of 7 mm. The resulting catalyst had the following elemental composition except oxygen: Mo12 Nb0.5 Bi1..2 Fe1..2 C05 K0.05 Preparation Example 4: Catalyst 4 Catalyst 4 was provided in the same manner as described in Preparation Example 1, 15 except that 32 g of niobium chloride were further added to form a solution 1.

The resulting catalyst had the following elemental composition except oxygen: Mo12 Nb0.5 Bi1..2 Fe1..2 C05 K0.05 To a 3 m stainless steel reactor having an inner diameter of 1 inch and heated with molten nitrate salt, alumina silica was packed to a height of 150 mm as an inert material, and any one or a mixture of Catalysts 1 to 5 prepared in Catalyst Preparation Examples 1 to 5 shown in Table 1 was packed to have a height of 2800 mm, from the inlet of the reaction gas toward the outlet. The oxidation was performed by introducing feed gas containing 7 vol% of propylene, 13 vol% of oxygen, 12 vol% of water steam, and 68 vol% of inert gas onto the catalyst with a space velocity of 1500 hr-1 (STP), at a reaction temperature of 320 "C under a reaction pressure of 0.7 arm. 16 In Tables 1, conversion ratio of a reactant and yield are calculated, based on the following Mathematical Formulae 1 and 2.
