The invention provides a Cs-VPO / SiO2 catalyst, a preparation method therefor and use of the Cs-VPO / SiO2 catalyst in preparation of
acrylic acid through catalyzing condensation of
acetic acid and trioxymethylene. The preparation method comprises the steps: (1) firstly, weighing
vanadium pentoxide, adding the weighed
vanadium pentoxide into a three-mouthed flask, then, adding
isobutanol and
benzyl alcohol into the three-mouthed flask, and carrying out constant-temperature stirring refluxing until the
vanadium pentoxide is completely dissolved; and weighing
phosphoric acid, slowly adding the weighed
phosphoric acid into the flask, and then, continuing to carry out a constant-temperature refluxing reaction until the solution is dark blue, so as to obtain a vanadium-
phosphorus oxide, i.e., VPO; and (2) adding SiO2 into the three-mouthed flask in the step (1), then, adding an
aqueous solution of cesium
carbonate into the three-mouthed flask, and carrying out a stirring reaction; and taking out a sample after the reaction is completed, carrying out suction
filtration, carrying out washing with
isobutanol and
acetone, then, carrying out
drying,
grinding and
roasting, tabletting the sample, and carrying out screening, thereby preparing the Cs-VPO / SiO2 catalyst. The Cs-VPO / SiO2 catalyst provided by the invention has the remarkable characteristic of having good catalytic activity and stability in a reaction process.
