    Abstract: A process for the catalyzed partial gas phase oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid comprises processing a reaction mixture comprising acrolein, molecular oxygen and at least one inert gas in a molar ratio of O 2 to C 3H 4O of at least 0.5 in a reaction step using a fixed catalyst bed comprising a multi metal oxide containing Mo and V whereby the fixed catalyst bed comprises two separate temperature zones A and B arranged in series. A process for the catalyzed partial gas phase oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid comprises processing a reaction mixture comprising acrolein, molecular oxygen and at least one inert gas in a molar ratio of O 2 to C 3H 4O of at least 0.5 in a reaction step using a fixed catalyst bed. The catalyst comprised a multi metal oxide containing Mo and V whereby the fixed catalyst bed comprises two separate temperature zones A and B arranged in series. The temperature zones are maintained at 230-320[deg]C, such that the volume specific activity within a fixed catalyst zone is essentially constant and has a step-wise increase in the flow direction of the aqueous reaction mixture by transfer from one fixed catalyst zone to the other. A conversion of 45-85 mol.% acrolein is achieved in zone A; an acrolein conversion of at least 90 mol.% with selectivity to acrylic acid of at least 90 mol.% achieved by a single pass through the total fixed catalyst bed with flow through A followed by B. The catalyst bed loading of acrolein is at least 70 Nl acrolein per liter of catalyst bed per hour; the difference between the maximum temperatures in both zones A and B is at least 0[deg]C; whereby the transition from temperature zone A to temperature zone B does not occur with a transfer from one fixed catalyst zone to another fixed catalyst zone.

    Abstract: A mixture of propene, molecular oxygen and inert gas, is passed over a fixed catalyst bed having temperature zones (A,B) maintained at 290-380 [deg] C. The fixed catalyst bed has two fixed catalyst bed zones having preset volume-specific activity. The transition from zone A to zone B in fixed catalyst bed do not coincide with transition from one fixed catalyst bed zone to another. The partial oxidation of propene in gaseous phase is performed in presence of heterogeneous catalyst. A reaction gas mixture comprising propene, molecular oxygen and at least one inert gas is passed over a fixed catalyst bed containing at least one multimetal oxide comprising molybdenum, iron and bismuth. The molar ratio of molecular oxygen and propene is = 1. The fixed catalyst bed is arranged in two spatially successive temperature zones (A,B), both maintained at 290-380 [deg] C. The fixed catalyst bed consists of at least two spatially successive fixed catalyst bed zones. The volume-specific activity within one fixed catalyst bed zone is substantially constant and increases sharply in the flow direction of the reaction gas mixture at the transition from one fixed catalyst bed zone to another fixed catalyst bed zone. The temperature zone (A) extends up to a conversion of propene of 40-80 mol%. On single pass of the starting reaction gas mixture through the entire fixed catalyst bed, the propene conversion is >=90 mol% and the selectivity of acrolein formation based on converted propene is >=90 mol %. The sequence in time in which the reaction gas mixture flows through the temperature zones (A,B) corresponds to the alphabetic sequence of the temperature zones. The hourly space velocity of the propene contained in the reaction gas mixture on the fixed catalyst bed is >= 90 I(STP) of propene/I of fixed bed catalyst.h. The difference (TmaxA-TmaxB) between the highest temperature (TmaxA) of reaction gas mixture in zone A, and the highest temperature (TmaxB) of reaction gas mixture in zone B, is >=0 [deg] C. The transition from temperature zone A to temperature zone B in the fixed catalyst bed do not coincide with a transition from one fixed catalyst bed zone to another fixed catalyst bed zone.
