PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shaped catalyst for heterogeneously catalyzed reaction having improved characteristics, especially, reduced pressure loss. SOLUTION: The shaped catalyst for heterogeneously catalyzed reaction has the form of a hollow cylinder or annular tablet whose end surfaces are rounded both to the outer edge and to the edge of the central hole, i.e., have no right-angled edges.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the heterogenically catalysed gas-phase partial oxidation of precursor compounds of (meth)acrylic acid in a fixed catalyst bed, containing as the catalyst an activated mass of mixed oxide, shaped to form a geometric body. Said geometric body is a geometric base body, into whose surface a cavity is incorporated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a catalyst, comprising an active phase, composed of a multi metal oxide and which is suitable for the gas-phase oxidation of organic compounds producing alpha , beta unsaturated aldehydes and/or carboxylic acids. According to the invention, a particle shaped catalyst precursor is produced which contains oxides and/or compounds which can be transformed into oxides containing elements constituting the multi metal oxide mass which are different from oxygen. Said catalyst precursor can be transformed into a catalytically active form by means of calcination, whereby a flow of the particle shaped catalyst precursor for calcification is guided at a substantially constant speed through at least one calcification zone at a constant temperature.
