    Abstract: Gas phase oxidation of propylene into acrylic acid in which the mixture of reaction gas is oxidized on a first fixed-bed catalyst and the mixture of product gas which contain acrolein oxidized on a second fixed-bed catalyst. The catalyst shaped bodies comprise an annular geometry in both reaction steps. Gas-phase oxidation of propylene in a one-stage reaction to acrolein and/or acrylic acid or in a two-stage reaction to acrylic acid is such that (i) the initial charge in both cases is \- 160 Nl propylene/l catalyst hour; (ii) the charge to the 2nd stage (if used) includes \- 140 NL acrolein/l catalyst hour ; and (iii) the catalyst or catalysts is/are of ring form with an outer diameter 2-11 mm, length 2-11 mm and a wall-thickness 1-5 mm. The process comprises (A) feeding a mixture of propylene, molecular oxygen and an inert gas with molar ratio O2 : C3H6 \- 1 at high temperature over a solid bed catalyst with characteristics (i) and (iii) above and comprising a multi-metal oxide containing Mo and/or W together with Bi, Te, Sb, Sn and/or Cu such that the propylene conversion and the combined selectivity for acrolein and the acrylic acid by-product are both \- 90 mol.%; and optionally (B) cooling the acrolein-containing gas product and optionally adding molecular O2 and/or inert gas prior to passing it at high temperature and with molar ratio O2 : acrolein \- 0.5 over a Mo- and V-containing multi-metal oxide solid bed catalyst such that the acrolein conversion is \- 90 mol.% and the combined two-stage acrylic acid selectivity (based on propylene conversion) is \- 80 mol.%.

    Abstract: Multi-metal oxide compsn. of general formula ÄAÜpÄBÜq (I) is new (where, A = Mo12Va(X b)(X c)(X d)X e)(X f )(X g)Ox, B = X 12CuhHiOy (promoter phase); X = W, Nb, Ta, Cr and/or Ce; X = Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, M n and/or Zn; X = Sb and/or Bi; X = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and/or H; X = Mg, Ca, Sr and/or Br; X = Si, Al, Ti and/or Zr; X = Mo, W, V, Nb and/or Ta; a = 1-8; b = 0.2-5; c = 0-23; d = 0-50; e = 0-2; f = 0-5; g = 0-50; h = 4-30; i = 0-20; x, y = values determining the valency and frequency of elements different from oxygen in the compsn.; and p, q = values other than zero, whose ratio p/q = 160-1:1. The proportions of (A)p and (B)q are in the form of chemical compsns. differing from their local environment. A and B are distributed relative to each other such as a mixt. of finely divided A and finely divided B, with the proviso that B contains crystals B* of oxometallates of formula CuMoaWbVcNbdTeOy (II) (where, a/(A+B+C+D+E)=0.7-1.3; (B+C+D+E)/A = 0.01-1; and Y = a value determined by the valency and frequency of elements in (II) different from oxygen) of a new structure type (HT-Cu molybdate) defined by the X-ray diffraction pattern: d(A)=6.79+/-0.3; 3.56+/-0.3; 3.54+/-0.3, 3.40+/-0.3; 3.04+/-0.3, 2.96+/-0.3; 2.67+/-0.2; 2.66+/-0.2; 2.56+/-0.2, 2.36+/-0.2; 2.35+/-0.2; 2.27+/-0.2; 2.00+/-0.2;1.87+/-0.3; 1.70+/-0.2; 1.64+/-0.2; 1.59+/-0.2; 1.57+/-0.2; 1.57+/-0.2; 1.55+/-0.2; 1.51+/-0.2; 1.44+/-0.2. Also claimed are: (i) the oxometallates of formula (II); (ii) mixt. of oxometallates (II); (iii) prodn. of the multi-metal oxide compsn..
