A method for synthesizing an
isobutyraldehyde catalyst by using methyl
alcohol and
ethanol in one step relates to a preparation method for the catalyst. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: dissolving a
solubility vanadic salt and
ferric salt in an
aqueous solution, adding
citric acid and one or two soluble salts of Ce, Zr and La, then stirring and evaporating a
solvent,
drying, molding and
roasting after
solvent evaporation is ended, and preparing the
oxide catalyst, wherein the charging manner of a V
salt solution and
citric acid, Fe, Ce, Zr, La solutions is a positive addition method, a reverse addition method or a combining addition method, the
evaporation temperature of the
solvent is 30-95 DEG C, V is an
active component, Fe, Ce, Zr and La are auxiliaries, a V
metal salt is a
vanadium soluble salt, and Fe, Ce, Zr and La salts are corresponding nitrates, the
drying temperature is 80-150 DEG C, and the
roasting temperature is 350-800 DEG C. The prepared product prepared by the method comprises main products such as high value-added
acetaldehyde and
propionaldehyde apart from
isobutyraldehyde and few other by-products; and the catalyst has good stability,
high activity and
high selectivity.
