PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable thickness control of catalyst outer shell comprising active oxide and to give a sufficient specific area, when forming a liquid adhesive from water and organic compound, by specifying a mixing ratio of both material and physical property of organic compound. SOLUTION: A carrier forming body is first moistened with a liquid adhesive. And after depositing by contacting an active oxide material of dried particles to the surface of the moistened carrier forming body, the liquid adhesive is removed from the moistened carrier forming body coated with the active oxide material. Consequently, a catalyst comprising the carrier forming body and the catalyst active oxide material provided on the surface of the carrier forming body is prepared. At this time as the liquid adhesive, a solution comprising 20-90 wt.% water and 10-80 wt.% organic compound 10 having boiling point or sublimation temperature of >100 deg.C, preferably >150 deg.C at atmosphere (1 atm) is used.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing phthalic anhydride by catalytic gas phase oxidation of o-xylol. According to said method, a gaseous mixture of o-xylol and an oxygen-containing gas is reacted in a primary reactor to give a gaseous intermediate reaction product which contains unreacted o-xylol, phthalic anhydride reaction products with a lower oxidation state and phthalic anhydride, the reaction heat produced in the primary reactor being at least partially carried off by indirect cooling with a heat exchange medium, and introducing the intermediate reaction product to a secondary reactor. The concentration of the unreacted o-xylol in the intermediate reaction product is at least 1% by weight, and the sum of the concentrations of phthalic anhydride of the lower oxidation state in the intermediate reaction product is at least 0.5% by weight. The method according to the invention allows an increase in total yield of phthalic anhydride without any or without substantial decrease in product quality.

Abstract:
In a process for the preparation of acrolein or acrylic acid or a mixture thereof from propane, the propane is subjected, in a first reaction stage, to a partial dehydrogenation under heterogeneous catalysis to give propene, of the components contained in the product gas mixture formed in the first reaction stage other than propene and propane at least a portion of the molecular hydrogen present is then separated off from said mixture and the product gas mixture is then used for the preparation of acrolein and/or acrylic acid by gas-phase catalytic propylene oxidation, molecular nitrogen being present for diluting the reaction gas mixture during the propylene oxidation.
