PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for catalytic gas-phase oxidation of propene to acrylic acid. SOLUTION: The reaction gas starting mixture is oxidized, with an increased propene loading, in a first reaction stage, over a first fixed-bed catalyst and then the acrolein-containing product gas mixture of the first reaction stage is oxidized, in a second reaction stage, with an increased acrolein loading, over a second fixed-bed catalyst, the catalyst moldings in both reaction stages having an annular geometry.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new catalytic gas-phase oxidation method of propene to acrylic acid. SOLUTION: There is provided a method for the catalytic gas-phase oxidation of propene to acrylic acid, in which the reaction gas starting mixture is oxidized, with a high propene loading, in a first reaction stage, over a first fixed-bed catalyst which is housed in two successive reaction zones A, B, (the reaction zone B being kept at a higher temperature than the reaction zone A), and the acrolein-containing product gas mixture of the first reaction stage is then oxidized in a second reaction stage, with a high acrolein loading, over a second fixed-bed catalyst which is housed in two successive reaction zones C, D, (the reaction zone D being kept at a higher temperature than the reaction zone C).

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 guided through at least two reaction zones in a main reactor, the temperature of said reaction zones being adjustable independently of each other, and is reacted to give a gaseous intermediate reaction product which contains unreacted o-xylol, phthalic anhydride reaction products with a lower oxidation state and phthalic anhydride, and the intermediate reaction product is introduced into a secondary reactor. The temperature in the reaction zones in the primary reactor is controlled in such a manner that the concentration of the unreacted o-xylol 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.
