    Abstract: Vapour-phase oxidation of propylene and/or acrolein with oxygen in the presence of steam to produce acrolein and/or acrylic acid, wherein post-reactions are inhibited. The oxidation is carried out in a reaction zone on a fixed bed catalyst at temperatures between 320.degree. and 450.degree.C. More particularly, the resulting hot reaction gas mixture leaving the reaction zone is directly introduced into a heat exchanger zone placed directly downstream of the reaction zone, and the reaction gas mixture is cooled in said heat exchanger zone, with water having a temperature at least 25.degree.C above the dew point of the reaction gas mixture, down to temperatures between 200.degree. and 300.degree.C. The reaction zone is bounded by a generally cylindrical casing receiving a plurality of individual tubular structures. The structures are adapted to have a fixed bed catalyst placed therein, bundled together and spaced apart from each other by means of two perforated plates sealing the upper end and lower end, respectively, of the casing, and heated by means of a salt melt. The heat exchanger zone receives a similar number of empty, watercoolable tubular structures. The tubular structures accommodated in the two zones are flanged together, so as to open directly into each other, by means of the perforated plates.
