摘要:
What is described is a method for starting a gas phase oxidation reactor that contains a bed of a first catalyst whose active material comprises a catalytically active silver-vanadium oxide bronze, and at least one bed of a second catalyst whose catalytically active material comprises vanadium pentoxide and titanium dioxide, and whose temperature is controllable by means of a heat transfer medium. In the operating state, a gas stream which comprises a loading cop of a hydrocarbon and molecular oxygen is passed through the reactor over the bed of the first and second catalyst at a temperature Top of the heat transfer medium. For the startup, a) a gas stream is passed through the reactor with a starting loading c0 which is less than cop, and at a starting temperature T0 of the heat transfer medium which is less than Top, and b) the temperature of the heat transfer medium is brought to Top and the loading of the gas stream to cop. The process combines a short startup time without exceedance of emissions or quality requirements, long catalyst lifetime, high yield and low formation of by-products.

摘要:
A process is described for preparing phthalic anhydride by catalytic gas phase oxidation of o-xylene, in which a gaseous mixture of o-xylene and an oxygenous gas is converted in a main reactor to a gaseous intermediate reaction product which comprises unconverted o-xylene, phthalic anhydride underoxidation products and phthalic anhydride, the heat of reaction which arises in the main reactor being removed at least partly by indirect cooling with a heat carrier medium, and the intermediate reaction product being introduced into a postreactor. The concentration of unconverted o-xylene in the intermediate reaction product is at least 1% by weight, and the sum of the concentrations of phthalic anhydride underoxidation products in the intermediate reaction product is at least 0.5% by weight. The process allows an increase in the overall yield of phthalic anhydride without or without significant deterioration in the product quality.
