SOLUTION: At least one kind of a group X metal and at least one kind of a group XI metal are supported on an aluminum oxide carrier and the group X metal (single kind or plural kinds) is conc. on the outer layer near to the surface of each of catalyst particles and the group XI metal (single kind or plural kinds) is substatially uniformly distributed over the total vol. of catalyst particles and the wt. ratio of the group XI metal to the group X metal is below 1.95.
Abstract:
The invention relates to catalyst systems for catalytic gas phase reactions which are characterized in that the catalyst activity increases in the direction of flow of the gas, the catalyst activity being controlled using mixtures of low activity and high activity catalysts. The invention further relates to methods for producing phthalic anhydride, ethylene dichloride, cyclohexanone, maleic anhydride, and acrylic acid.

Abstract:
Method for gas phase oxidation comprises directing a gaseous flow comprising at least an aromatic hydrocarbon and molecular oxygen through at least two catalyst layers that are arranged in current direction, where the activity of the catalyst in the border of the catalyst layer is different from one another, and arranging a moderator layer between two catalyst layers that are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the gaseous flow. Method for gas phase oxidation comprises directing a gaseous flow comprising at least an aromatic hydrocarbon and molecular oxygen through at least two catalyst layers that are arranged in current direction, where the activity of the catalyst in the border of the catalyst layer is different from one another, and arranging a moderator layer between two catalyst layers that are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the gaseous flow, where the moderator layer is catalytically less active than the catalysts adjoining upstream and downstream or is catalytically inactive; and the highly active catalyst layer is situated downstream to the moderator layer as the catalyst layer upstream to the moderator layer.
Abstract:
Catalyst system for catalytic gaseous phase reactions, having catalyst activity increases in flow direction of a gas, where the catalyst activity is steered by mixing low- and high active catalysts, is new. Independent claims are included for: (1) a preparation of phthalic acid anhydride comprising gaseous phase oxidation of xylene and/or naphthalene and oxygen gas in the catalyst system; (2) a preparation of ethylene dichloride comprising gaseous phase oxychlorination of ethylene with hydrochloric acid and air/oxygen in the catalyst system; (3) a preparation of cyclohexanone comprising gaseous phase dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol and hydrogen in the catalyst system; (4) a preparation of maleic acid anhydride comprising gaseous phase oxidation of benzol, butane or butene with oxygen in the catalyst system; and (5) a preparation of acrylic acid comprising gaseous phase oxidation of propene with vapor/air in the catalyst system to give an acrolein, and followed by oxidation of the acrolein with the catalyst system.
