    Abstract: A multitube fixed bed reactor and the use of such a reactor for carrying out catalytic gas-phase reactions, in particular for carrying out exothermic and endothermic catalytic gas-phase reactions such as the preparation of phthalic anhydride (PA), acrylic acid, methacrylic acid (MAA), acrolein, maleic anhydride (MA), glyoxal, phosgene, hydrocyanic acid or vinyl formamide (VFA). In a relatively large multitube reactor in which a large amount of heat of reaction is generated owing to the numerous catalyst tubes ( 17 ) and has to be removed, it is proposed that the ratio of tube spacing t to external tube diameter d a be made dependent on the reactor diameter or on the external tube bundle diameter d RBa . At an external diameter of the catalyst tube bundle ( 18 ) of more than 4 meters, a ratio of tube spacing d to external tube diameter d a of at least 1.3 is preferred.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing phthalic anhydride by the gas phase oxidation of xylene, naphthalene or mixtures thereof in a multitube fixed-bed reactor, which is thermostatted by a heat-transfer medium, on two different fixed-bed catalysts arranged in layers. The invention method is carried out in such a manner that the maximum temperature in the second catalyst layer arranged in the direction of flow is approximately at least 52 DEG C lower than the maximum temperature in the first catalyst layer. The inventive method enables the production of phthalic anhydride with high yields under conditions relevant to practice.

    Abstract: Aromatic hydrocarbons are partially oxidized in the gas phase over a catalyst at elevated temperature to form carboxylic acids or carboxylic anhydrides in a process in which a gas stream laden with the starting materials is passed through a shell-and-tube reactor whose temperature is controlled by means of one or more separate thermostatting baths conveyed in countercurrent to the starting gas stream, wherein the difference between the temperature of the thermostatting bath in the region of the reactor outlet and the temperature of the product gas stream leaving the reactor is employed to control the selectivity of the gas-phase oxidation.

    Abstract: A process for preparing phthalic anhydride by gas-phase oxidation of xylene, naphthalene or mixtures thereof over two different fixed-bed catalysts arranged in zones in a shell-and-tube reactor which is thermostated by means of a heat transfer medium is carried out so that the maximum temperature in the second catalyst zone in the flow direction is at least 52° C. lower than the maximum temperature in the first catalyst zone.The process of the present invention makes it possible to prepare phthalic anhydride in high yields under conditions relevant to industrial practice.
