摘要:
A process is described for converting a precatalyst which comprises an inert support, an organic carbon source and a multimetal oxide comprising silver and vanadium to a gas phase oxidation catalyst which comprises the inert support and a catalytically active silver vanadium oxide bronze, by treating the precatalyst thermally at a temperature of at least 350° C. in a gas atmosphere which comprises less than 10% by volume of oxygen, wherein, before the thermal treatment, the amount of the carbon source in the precatalyst is adjusted to a value below a critical amount The carbon content is reduced by burning-off at a temperature of from 80 to 200° C. in an oxygenous atmosphere with decomposition of a portion of the carbon source. The catalysts obtained serve for the gas phase partial oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons to aldehydes, carboxylic acids and/or carboxylic anhydrides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a catalyst system for preparing carboxylic acids and/or carboxylic anhydrides which has at least three catalyst layers arranged one on top of the other in the reaction tube, with the proviso that the most inactive catalyst layer is preceded in the upstream direction by a more active catalyst layer. The invention further relates to a process for gas phase oxidation in which a gaseous stream which comprises one hydrocarbon and molecular oxygen is passed through a plurality of catalyst layers, the least active catalyst layer being upstream of a more active catalyst layer.

摘要:
Disclosed is an optimized process and apparatus for more efficiently and economically carrying out the liquid-phase oxidation of an oxidizable compound. Such liquid-phase oxidation is carried out in a bubble column reactor that provides for a highly efficient reaction at relatively low temperatures. When the oxidized compound is para-xylene and the product from the oxidation reaction is crude terephthalic acid (CTA), such CTA product can be purified and separated by more economical techniques than could be employed if the CTA were formed by a conventional high-temperature oxidation process.
