description A series of K<sub>x</sub>H<sub>1.1-x</sub>Cu<sub>0.2</sub>Cs<sub>1</sub>(NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>1.5</sub>PVMo<sub>11</sub>O<sub>40</sub> (KxCuCsNH<sub>4</sub>PVA) catalysts with different <i>x</i> values were synthesized to catalyze the selective oxidation of methacrolein (MAL) to methacrylic acid (MAA). The effects of potassium (K) ions on both the structure and catalytic activity were studied in detail. The optimum K<sub>0.6</sub>CuCsNH<sub>4</sub>PVA exhibited a large surface area, more acid sites, and abundant active species (V<sup>4+</sup>/VO<sup>2+</sup>) in the secondary structure of the Keggin structure, consequently offering good catalytic performance. Furthermore, K ions increased the MAA selectivity at the expense of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (together defined as CO<sub>X</sub>). Additionally, several process parameters for MAL oxidation were evaluated in the processing experiments. The effects of aldehyde impurities (formaldehyde and propanal) on the catalytic performance were investigated. Possible detrimental effects (catalyst poisoning and structural damage) of aldehyde impurities were excluded. A light decrease in MAL conversion could be attributed to the competitive adsorption of aldehyde impurities and MAL on the catalyst. Hopefully, this work contributes to the design of stable and feasible catalysts for the industrial production of MAA.
