摘要:
The object of this invention is to provide a method of maintaining a multi-tubular reactor which can ensure the uniformity of states of reaction in the reaction tubes in the multi-tubular reactor.This invention is a method of maintaining a multi-tubular reactor in good condition by selecting a part of reaction tubes in a multi-tubular reactor at random, measuring a differential pressure occurring in each reaction tube when passing gas therethrough, separating any reaction tube showing an abnormal differential pressure as compared with the average of differential pressures in reaction tubes packed with an fresh catalyst of the same kind, giving adequate treatment to the separated reaction tube and returning it into the reactor with any other selected reaction tube falling within a normal range.

A producing method of (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid where by use of a multi-tubular reactor that has a plurality of reaction tubes filled with a catalyst, catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene, propane, isobutylene or (meth)acrolein is carried out in the presence of a composite oxide catalyst by use of molecular oxygen or a gas containing molecular oxygen, in which method (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid can be obtained stably in high yield for a long period of time without allowing the activity of the catalyst to decrease locally (disproportionately) and extremely. A temperature difference between a temperature of a heat medium at the beginning of operation and a peak temperature of the catalyst is set in a range of 20 to 80° C., and during operations a change of the peak temperature T of the catalyst in a tube axis direction is maintained in a definite range.

(Meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid is collected by bringing a reaction gas (1) containing (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid obtained through a vapor-phase catalytic oxidation reaction into contact with an aqueous solution as a collecting solvent in a collecting tower main body (2). The reaction gas (1) is supplied to the collecting tower main body (2) from two nozzles (2c) facing each other, and is caused to collide in the collecting tower main body (2). According to the present invention, (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid can be efficiently collected from a gas containing (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid while preventing polymerization.

A condenser includes: a top face of a tube plate on which acrylic acid may be condensed inside the condenser; a spray for spreading a polymerization inhibitor on the tube plate; a first polymerization inhibitor supply tube for supplying the polymerization inhibitor to the spray; and a supporter for supporting the spray at a predetermined position. The supporter supports the first polymerization inhibitor supply tube outside the condenser. The condenser allows a stable continuous operation for a long period of time by preventing polymerization of an easily polymerizable compound in the condenser into which a vapor of an easily polymerizable compound is supplied with a simple structure thereof.
