    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: 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: A process for the sepn. of (meth)acrylic acid (I) from a mixt. contg. (a) (I), (b) inert, hydrophobic organic liq. with a higher b.pt. than (I) as main component and (c) lower aldehydes as minor components, comprises rectification with the addn. of a prim. amine and/or salts thereof (II). Also claimed are processes for the prodn. of (I) by gas-phase oxidn. of a 3C/4C starting material (III). Pref. liq. (b) contains diphenyl ether (DPE), and pref. comprises a mixt. of 70-75 wt.% DPE and 25-30 wt.% biphenyl contg. 0.1-25 wt.% (w.r.t. the mixt.) of dimethyl o-phthalate. Amine (II) is a hydrazine deriv., pref. the hydrazide of a carboxylic acid, esp. pref. adipic acid dihydrazide.
