Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing unsaturated aldehydes or unsaturated fatty acids from at least one compound selected from the group consisting of propylene, propane, (meth)acrolein, isobutylene, t-butyl alcohol, methyl-t-butyl ether and o-xylene by means of fixed-bed catalytic partial oxidation in a shell-and-tube reactor, characterized in that the reactor includes a reaction zone for producing unsaturated aldehydes as a main product, the reaction zone having an inactive material layer inserted into a position where a hot spot is to be generated in a reaction tube. A fixed-bed shell-and-tube reactor for use in the above method is also disclosed. According to the present invention, at least one layer of inactive material is packed at the point of a hot spot to control the hot spot temperature efficiently, thereby increasing the lifetime of a catalyst and producing unsaturated aldehydes and unsaturated fatty acids with high yield.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a catalyst system, an oxidation reactor comprising the same, and a method for producing an acrolein and an acrylic acid by using the same. By using the catalyst system according to the present invention, when acrolein and acrylic acid are produced, since heat accumulation in a catalyst layer may be effectively prevented, catalyst deterioration may be prevented, and the catalyst may be stably used for a long period of time. In addition, an acrolein and an acrylic acid may be produced at high selectivity and high yield.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a shell-and-tube reactor that may be used for fixed-bed catalytic partial oxidation, the reactor being characterized by including at least one reaction zone of a first-step reaction zone for mainly producing unsaturated aldehydes and a second-step reaction zone for mainly producing unsaturated acids, wherein at least one reaction zone of the above reaction zones comprises two or more catalytic layers; each of the catalytic layers is packed with a formed product of catalyst that is different in pore density and/or pore size in a catalytically active component; and the pore density and/or pore size is controlled in such a manner that specific surface area of the catalytically active component increases from the inlet of the reactor to the outlet of the reactor. A method for producing unsaturated aldehydes and/or unsaturated fatty acids from olefins using the same reactor is also disclosed. According to the present invention, it is possible to control the temperature efficiently at a hot spot, thereby permitting stable use of a catalyst, and to produce unsaturated aldehydes and/or unsaturated fatty acids with high yield.
