The vapor-phase aldol condensation of methyl acetate (MeOAC) with formaldehyde (HCHO) to form methyl acrylate was investigated over solid base catalysts. A variety of solid base catalysts were prepared by loading Cs2O over SiO2 or Al2O3 as the support materials. The properties of the solid base catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET and CO2-TPD. The results of the vapor-phase aldol condensation indicated that SiO2 and Al2O3 modified with Cs2O showed high conversation of methyl acetate and high selectivity of methyl acrylate. 22.6% conversation of methyl acetate and 16.5% yield of acrylic acid and methyl acrylate were obtained over Cs-Al2O3. In addition, Cs-SiO2 exhibited about 42% selectivity to methyl acetate. The high yield of acrylic acid and methyl acrylate is attributed to the high base property of catalysts.

Two types of catalysts, V2O5-P2O5/SiO2and Cs-Sb2O5/SiO2, were separately prepared with SiO2as carrier. Their catalytic properties were investigated in the process of synthesizing methyl acrylate through aldol condensation with methylal and methyl acetate, and the influence of the catalyst’s filling up technique on the reaction was studied. Reactions were performed in a fixed-bed reactor. The research results indicate that aldol condensation reaction is effectively promoted when the two catalysts were filled up in appropriate subsections of the reaction tube. Specifically, when V-Si-P Oxide was filled up at the 4thsubsection and Cs-Sb2O5/SiO2catalyst at the 6thsubsection with the temperature of the reactor at 400 °C and the mol ratio of methyl acetate and methylal at 1.6:1 and the space velocity at 3.2 h-1, then the conversion rate of methylal was 50.9%, the selectivity of methyl acrylate was 90.63%, and the ester yield of methyl acrylate was 46.15%.
