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.
Abstract:
Method for production of ethylene oxide in a microchannel reactor, wherein an ethylene-containing material stream and an oxygen- or oxygen-source-containing material stream are fed to the microchannel reactor and the reaction to give ethylene oxide takes place in the catalyst-containing microchannel reactor. Alkyl halides are continuously fed to the microchannel reactor at a concentration of 0.3 to 50 ppm by volume with respect to the total volume stream of all material streams fed to the reactor.
