    Abstract: Production of phthalic anhydride by gas-phase oxidation of o-xylene or naphthalene in a tubular reactor involves using three or more different catalyst beds with controlled hot-spot temperatures. A method for the production of phthalic anhydride (I) by gas-phase oxidation of xylene and/or naphthalene in a thermostatted tube-bank reactor on 3 or more solid-bed catalysts in 3 different layers involves carrying out the process in such a way that the peak temperature (T2) in the second catalyst layer (in the direction of flow) is up to 50 degrees C below the peak temperature (T1) in the first layer and the peak temperature (T3) in the third layer is 30-100 degrees C below T1.

    Abstract: In a process for preparing maleic anhydride by heterogeneously catalyzed gas-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons having at least four carbon atoms using oxygen-containing gases in the presence of a volatile phosphorus compound over a catalyst comprising vanadium, phosphorus and oxygen in a shell-and-tube reactor unit having at least two successive cooled reaction zones, the temperature of the first reaction zone is from 350 to 450° C. and the temperature of the second and further reaction zones is from 350 to 480° C. and the temperature difference between the hottest reaction zone and the coolest reaction zone is at least 2° C.
