Abstract:
The present invention relates to a catalytically active composition for the selective methanation of carbon monoxide in reformate streams comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide, comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium, nickel and cobalt as active component and rhenium as dopant on a support material. The catalyst according to the invention is preferably used for carrying out methanation reactions in a temperature range from 100 to 300° C. for use in the production of hydrogen for fuel cell applications.
Abstract:
A process for preparing acrylic acid from ethanol and formaldehyde, in which, in a reaction zone A, the ethanol is partially oxidized to acetic acid in a heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase reaction, the product gas mixture A obtained and a formaldehyde source are used to obtain a reaction gas input mixture B which comprises acetic acid and formaldehyde and has the acetic acid in excess over the formaldehyde, and the formaldehyde present in reaction gas input mixture B is aldol-condensed with acetic acid present in reaction gas input mixture B to acrylic acid under heterogeneous catalysis in a reaction zone B, and unconverted acetic acid still present along-side the acrylic acid target product in the product gas mixture B obtained is removed therefrom, and the acetic acid removed is recycled into the production of reaction gas input mixture B.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst molded body for preparing maleic anhydride by gas-phase oxidation of a hydrocarbon having at least four carbon atoms using a catalytically active composition containing vanadium, phosphorus and oxygen. The shaped catalyst body has an essentially cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis. The cylindrical body has at least two parallel internal holes which are essentially parallel to the cylinder axis of the body and go right through the body. The catalyst molded body has a large outer surface area, a lower pressure loss and sufficient mechanical stability.
