Abstract:
The catalytically active mass of a catalyst molded body comprises a multi-element oxide containing vanadium and phosphorus. The specific pore volume PV (in ml/g) of the catalyst molded body, the bulk density p of the catalyst molded body (in kg/l), the geometric surface area Ageo (in mm2), and the geometric volume Vgeo (in mm3) of the catalyst molded body satisfy the condition: 0.275 geo/Vgeo. In a method for producing maleic acid anhydride by heterogeneously catalytic gas phase oxidation of a hydrocarbon, the catalyst molded body allows a lower pressure loss and a high yield.

Provided is a catalyst for preparing carboxylic acids and/or carboxylic anhydrides, which has a plurality of catalyst zones arranged in series and has been produced using a vanadium antimonite having a maximum content of crystalline valentinite of 5% by weight. The present invention further provides a process for gas-phase oxidation in which a gas stream comprising at least one hydrocarbon and molecular oxygen is passed through a catalyst which has a plurality of catalyst zones arranged in series and has been produced using a vanadium antimonite having a maximum content of crystalline valentinite of 5 % by weight.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing acrylic acid from methanol and acetic acid, whereby the methanol is partially oxidised in a reaction zone A, in a heterogeneously catalysed gas phase reaction to form formaldehyde; a reaction gas starting mixture B containing acetic acid and formaldehyde is produced with the thus obtained product gas mixture A and an acetic acid source, said mixture comprising more acetic acid than formaldehyde; and the formaldehyde contained in the reaction gas starting mixture B undergoes aldol condensation in a reaction zone, with the acetic acid contained in the reaction gas starting mixture B, in a heterogeneously catalysed manner to form acrylic acid. Non-reacted acetic acid still contained in the product gas starting mixture (B) is separated from the product gas mixture B obtained, in addition to the target product acrylic acid, and the separated acetic acid is guided back into the process for the production of the reaction gas starting mixture B.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst molded body for producing maleic anhydride by gas-phase oxidation of a hydrocarbon having at least four carbon atoms, comprising a catalytically active mass, which contains vanadium, phosphorus, and oxygen. The catalyst molded body comprises a substantially cylindrical body having at least two, preferably four, inner through-bores substantially parallel to the cylinder axis of the body. The catalyst molded body has a large outer surface area, a lower pressure loss, and sufficient mechanical stability.
