Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst for gas-phase oxidations, comprising an inert substrate and a catalytically active mass applied thereon, said mass containing vanadium oxide and titanium dioxide. The titanium dioxide has a content of sulfur compounds, calculated as S, of less than 1000 ppm and a content of calcium compounds, calculated as Ca, of less than 150 ppm. The catalyst has a higher activity and/or selectivity and thus enables higher yields of the desired target product, e.g., phthalic anhydride. The invention also relates to a method for producing phthalic anhydride, wherein a gas flow that contains molecular oxygen and o-xylene, naphthalene, or mixtures thereof, is brought into contact with the catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing a catalyst, where the catalyst comprises a catalytically active material and a carbon-comprising support, in which the carbon- comprising support is impregnated with a metal salt solution in a first step, the carbon- comprising support impregnated with the metal salt solution is subsequently heated to a temperature of at least 1500°C in an inert atmosphere to form a metal carbide layer and the catalytically active material is finally applied to the carbon-comprising support provided with the metal carbide layer. The invention further provides a catalyst which has been produced by the process and comprises a carbon-comprising support and a catalytically active material, with the carbon-comprising support having a metal carbide layer and the catalytically active material having been applied to the carbon-comprising support provided with the metal carbide layer.
