The invention relates to a method for the production of a purified melt of a monomer melt obtained by condensation, absorption or extraction in a crystallizer, wherein the inlet to the crystallizer is subjected to a mechanical solid/liquid separation operation.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the heterogeneously catalyzed partial direct oxidation of propane and/or isobutane. According to said method, target product is separated from the product gas mixture obtained in the reaction stage in a reprocessing stage, the remaining product gas mixture is divided into two partial quantities having the same composition, one partial quantity is redirected into the reaction stage while the other partial quantity is discharged, and both the reaction stage and the reprocessing stage are operated at an increased pressure.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the heterogeneously catalyzed partial gas phase oxidation of acrolein into acrylic acid, according to which the initial reaction gas mixture having an acrolein load = 70 NI of acrolein per Iiter of fixed catalyst bed h is oxidized on a fixed catalyst bed that is accommodated in two successive reaction zones A, B. The maximum temperature of the reaction gas mixture within reaction zone A lies above the maximum temperature of the reaction gas mixture within reaction zone B.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing acrolein by heterogeneous catalytic gas-phase partial oxidation. A reaction formulation containing propene and molecular oxygen in a molar ratio of C>3 6 2 1 is converted in successive reaction zones in a catalyst which is in a solid state at an increased temperature. Additional molecular oxygen is added to the reaction gas mixture during the partial oxidation.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for operating a hydraulic wash column, in which the position of the wash front in the wash column is determined by means of the rate of flow of the control liquor conducted into the wash column and/or by means of the rate of flow of the suspension conducted into the wash column, and the rate of flow is defined with the aid of the difference in pressure between points in the suspension zone located upstream of the wash front and points in the zone extending from the wash front to the end of the crystal bed in the column.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a multi-metal oxide material that contains the elements Mo, V, Te, and/or Sb, at least one of the elements Nb, Ti, W, Ta, and Ce, and optional promoters and has a specific X-ray diffractogram. The last step of the inventive method consists of a washing process with acid liquids. Also disclosed is the use of a multi-metal oxide material obtained by said method as a catalyst for heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase partial oxidations and/or the gas phase partial ammoxidation of hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a catalyst, comprising an active phase, composed of a multi metal oxide and which is suitable for the gas-phase oxidation of organic compounds producing alpha , beta unsaturated aldehydes and/or carboxylic acids. According to the invention, a particle shaped catalyst precursor is produced which contains oxides and/or compounds which can be transformed into oxides containing elements constituting the multi metal oxide mass which are different from oxygen. Said catalyst precursor can be transformed into a catalytically active form by means of calcination, whereby a flow of the particle shaped catalyst precursor for calcification is guided at a substantially constant speed through at least one calcification zone at a constant temperature.
Abstract:
A process for the long-term operation of a continuously operated heterogeneous catalyzed partial dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon to be dehydrogenated, in which a stream of reaction gas mixture containing the hydrocarbon to be dehydrogenated in a molar starting amount HC is passed through a total catalyst bed containing the total amount M of dehydrogenation catalyst and deactivation of the total catalyst bed is counteracted by, as the period of operation increases, the conversion contribution of the first third in the flow direction of the total amount M of dehydrogenation catalyst decreasing, the conversion contribution of the last third in the flow direction of the total amount M of dehydrogenation catalyst increasing and the conversion contribution of the second third in the flow direction of the total amount M of dehydrogenation catalyst going through a maximum.
Abstract:
A process for preparing acrolein or acrylic acid or a mixture thereof as a target product from propane, in which propane is dehydrogenated partially under heterogeneous catalysis in a reaction zone A, molecular hydrogen formed is combusted at least partly to water, any water present in the product gas A thus formed in reaction zone A is removed therefrom and product gas A is otherwise used to charge a reaction zone B in which propylene formed in reaction zone A is partially oxidized to the target product in the presence of remaining propane. The target product is removed from the product gas B formed in reaction zone B and propane present in the remaining residual gas is absorbed therefrom into a solvent and, after release from the absorbate, recycled into reaction zone A.
