Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing butadiene from n-butane with the steps A) providing a stream of feed gas a containing an n-butane; B) feeding the stream of feed gas a containing the n-butane into at least one first dehydrogenation zone, and non-oxidative, catalytic dehydrogenation of n-butane, wherein a stream of gas b is obtained containing n-butane, 1-butene, 2-butenes, butadiene, hydrogen, optionally water vapour, optionally oxides of carbon and optionally inert gases; G) feeding a stream of material f containing the butane, butenes and butadiene obtained from the stream of gas b and an oxygen-containing gas into at least a second dehydrogenation zone and oxidative dehydrogenation of 1-butene and 2-butenes, wherein a stream of gas g containing n-butane, unreacted 1-butene and 2-butenes, butadiene, water vapour, optionally oxides of carbon, optionally hydrogen and optionally inert gases is obtained, and H) removal of the residual oxygen contained in the stream of gas g by means of a catalytic combustion stages in which the oxygen is reacted with a part or all of the hydrogen d2 previously separated off and/or additionally fed-in hydrogen is reacted, obtaining an oxygen-depleted stream of material h, characterised in that stage H) is carried out in the presence of a catalyst which comprises a monolith that has a catalytically inert material with a low BET surface area and a catalyst layer which has been applied to the monolith and an oxidic carrier material, and at least one noble metal selected from the group consisting of noble metals of group VIII of the periodic table of the elements, optionally tin and/or rhenium, and optionally contains further metals, wherein the thickness of the catalyst layer is 5 to 500 μm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the heterogeneously catalysed partial gas phase oxidation of propylene to form acrylic acid. According to said method, the reaction starting mixture contains cyclopropane as an impurity, and the acrylic acid is separated off by means of separation by crystallisation after being transformed from the product gas mixture into the condensed phase.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the heterogeneously-catalysed gas phase partial oxidation of an organic compound on a catalyst fixed bed in a multiple-contact fixed bed reactor, whereby the reduction in quality of the catalyst coating with increasing service duration is compensated by a partial catalyst exchange.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for filling a reactor with a catalyst, to the thus obtained reactors filled with said catalyst, and to the use thereof for carrying out catalytic gas phase reactions.
