    摘要: A method for producing 2-methoxyacetic acid by oxidizing 2-methoxyethanol in a reaction device using oxygen at a temperature of 20 to 100° C. and an oxygen partial pressure of 0.01 to 2 MPa in the presence of water and a heterogeneous catalyst containing platinum, in which the method is carried out semi-continuously or continuously, and 2-methoxyethanol is added to the reaction device in a temporally and/or spatially distributed manner such that temporally and spatially, the mass ratio of 2-methoxyethanol to 2-methoxyethanol plus water per volume element in the reaction device is constantly ≤0.80 of the mass ratio of the added 2-methoxyethanol to the added 2-methoxyethanol plus water.

    摘要: A method for producing at least one oxidation product selected from the group consisting of acrolein and acrylic acid is provided. This method can alleviate concerns about deterioration of a gas-phase oxidation catalyst and reaction runaway in a restart period after a shutdown, and can allow the reaction to proceed in a stable state. Using a fixed-bed reactor filled with a gas-phase oxidation catalyst, at least one source gas selected from the group consisting of propylene and acrolein is subjected to a gas-phase contact oxidation reaction while a heating medium is caused to contact with or circulate through the fixed-bed reactor and thereby to heat the fixed-bed reactor. The temperature of the heating medium when the load is maximum in the restart period after the shutdown is controlled to be lower than the temperature of the heating medium when the load is maximum in an initial start-up period.
