    Abstract: Heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase partial oxidation of organic compound with oxygen over fixed catalyst bed involves: recovering quality of the fixed catalyst bed by not replacing entire fixed catalyst bed but only its portion by a replacement fixed catalyst bed part; when increasing operating time is accompanied by increasing reduction in quality of the fixed catalyst bed, such that volume-specific activity of the replacement fixed catalyst bed part is lower than volume-specific activity of replaced fixed catalyst bed part in its freshly installed state. Method for heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase partial oxidation of at least one organic starting compound with molecular oxygen over a fixed catalyst bed freshly installed into a reaction chamber, involving conducting a reaction gas mixture comprising the at least one organic starting compound and the molecular oxygen through the fixed catalyst bed, for partial oxidation; and removing the heat of reaction by indirect heat exchange with a fluid heat carrier conducted outside the reaction chamber, involves: recovering the quality of the fixed catalyst bed by not replacing the entire fixed catalyst bed but only its portion by a replacement fixed catalyst bed part; when increasing operating time is accompanied by an increasing reduction in the quality of the fixed catalyst bed, such that the volume-specific activity of the replacement fixed catalyst bed part is lower than the volume-specific activity of the replaced fixed catalyst bed part in its freshly installed state.
