Description

Aromatic hydrocarbon catalytic vapor phase oxidation is become the catalyst of aldehyde, carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid anhydrides, particularly phthalic anhydride
The present invention relates to the catalyst that aromatic hydrocarbon catalytic vapor phase oxidation is become aldehyde, carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid anhydrides, particularly phthalic anhydride according to claim 1 preamble.
It is known that industrially in fixed bed reactors, it is preferred in bundled tube reactor, preparing big quantity carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid anhydrides by aromatic hydrocarbon catalytic vapor phase oxidation, aromatic hydrocarbon is such as benzene, dimethylbenzene, naphthalene, toluene or durene. This process can such as form benzoic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, M-phthalic acid, p-phthalic acid or 1,2,4,5-pyromellitic anhydride.
For this, generally the mixture being made up of the gas (such as air) of molecule-containing keto and hydrocarbon (such as o-Dimethylbenzene) to be oxidized is guided by so-called bundled tube reactor, a large amount of reaction tubes are arranged in parallel in this bundled tube reactor, and the catalyst windrow being suitable for is present in these reaction tubes. Because will acutely generate heat in these oxidation reactions, so reaction tube must be washed away around by heat transfer medium (such as molten salt bath), thus deriving the heat produced in reaction. Generally use molten salt bath as heat transfer medium, it is preferred to by the mixture of sodium nitrite Yu potassium nitrate.
Although employing this temperature adjusting or temperature stabilization, catalyst windrow still can form local temperature extreme value, i.e. so-called hot spot.
These hot spots will cause a series of effects undesirably occurred, such as raw-material part complete oxidation causes selectivity low, or form more less desirable by-product, such as benzoic acid, maleic anhydride and by o xylene oxidation being 2-benzo (c)-furanone during phthalic anhydride, these by-products of part can must separate through huge consuming, and must lose the end product that part is required. In addition, significantly haveing the disadvantage that of temperature (hot spot) that Part portions in these catalyst beds acutely promotes, in order to realize the peak performance of desired raw material, and when forming one or more hot spot in extreme circumstances, make load be limited to for a long time lower than desired extent, thus avoiding occurring irreversible catalyst to damage, it is necessary to one period of long period of stall after starting running for the first time.
In order to weaken or avoid these hot spots, prior art once used so-called multi-layer catalyst, and it is layer by layer, particularly with stacked catalyst layer, it is arranged in catalyst windrow, wherein, the minimum catalyst of activity is typically closest to gas access, and therefore first it contact with raw mixture.

Therefore, the active substance of single internal layer or multiple internal layer accounts for the share of gross activity material is 10% to 90%.
EP1084115B1 describes a kind of method of layer oxidation o-Dimethylbenzene superposed by least three and/or naphthalene, and its catalyst activity raises to gas outlet side continuously from side, gas access.

Use the structure as described above catalyst of the variation composition of active material, although the abundant control to local temperature extremal can be realized when raw material load is relatively high, but still exist antigravity system in selectivity aspect, in suppressing to generate by-product aspect, and carry out the needs of bigger improvement in the safety aspect of phthalic anhydride preparation method.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to, there is provided one that aromatic hydrocarbon catalytic vapor phase oxidation is become aldehyde, carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid anhydrides, the particularly catalyst of phthalic anhydride, this catalyst has high selectivity, by-product can be suppressed to generate by this catalyst, and be capable of the high operational safety of the particularly preparation method of phthalic anhydride.
The object of the invention is reached by the feature of claim 1. The theme of dependent claims is preferred embodiment, and their disclosure is incorporated in this specification explicitly by quoting.
As claimed in claim 1, when catalytic active substance at hot spot catalyst layer is antimony and/or bismuth and/or niobium, the content of at least one above-mentioned element of the catalytic active substance of at least one preposition catalyst layer reduces relative to the content of this element of the catalytic active substance of hot spot catalyst layer. Especially preferably, at the antimony content of preposition catalytic active substance at least one catalyst layer of hot spot catalyst layer, especially stibium oxide content, value set in advance is reduced relative to the stibium oxide content of the catalytic active substance in hot spot catalyst layer. According to especially preferred embodiment, antimony content reduces by 20 weight % to 100 weight %, it is most preferred that reduce by 40 weight % to 100 weight %.
Hereinafter the antimony content that contact reduces is described the thinking of the present invention. It is also applied for bismuth or niobium, is specifically described without remaking. This is also suitable in the claims. Although antimony is preferred element among described three described element antimony, bismuth and niobium, but the present invention is merely for the consideration of generality and clearness, has adopted the term " antimony " in the overall invention thinking of claim 1 and " antimony content " in subordinate item. Term " antimony " and " antimony content " therefore both represented " bismuth " and " bi content " on expressing, and represented " niobium " and " content of niobium " again, namely to a certain extent as the upperseat concept of whole three element antimony, bismuth and niobium.
As shown in the experiment of inventor, by preposition this kind at least one catalyst layer of hot spot catalyst layer such as the reduction of the antimony content of the present invention, selectivity can be significantly improved. The formation of by-product can be suppressed simultaneously.
Thinking according to the present invention, hot spot is the maximum local temperature recorded in whole catalyst bed. This maximum hot spot, for 50 to the 120cm depths (from gas access to gas outlet's orientation measurement) being usually located at catalyst bed fresh catalyst, is also possible to occur the secondary hot spot that other is less in other catalyst layer except the hot spot that this is maximum.
Due to hot spot layer along with the working time continue may be located at deep zones or even transfer to the catalyst layer being arranged in depths (to gas outlet direction), so in the present invention preferably in drawing maximum hot spot layer under optimum working temperature (salt temperature), the highest selectivity of catalyst and enough good product quality can be realized in this optimum working temperature, and preferably in after bring into operation the stage (BreakInPeriod) of catalyst, behind be about that catalyst is gone into operation for the first time three months.
Thinking according to the present invention, the concept of catalyst layer with broad understanding, in other words, should not only be interpreted as the coating putting in carrier rings, also include solution, and in such cases, catalyst puts on the carrier that only one runs through. Especially in a broad sense catalyst layer should being interpreted as conversion zone, it is basically identical that the feature of this conversion zone is that catalyst forms in this region, or it is basically identical to be characterized as that when multiple catalysts mixes mixture forms in this region. Therefore, the passage between each catalyst reaction region is unimpeded. It is advantageous to constituted different catalyst by catalyst reaction region, there is between these catalyst more or less unimpeded passage. And different catalyst ordinary meanings is made up of each so-called catalyst ring, catalytic active substance puts in the carrier rings of such as inertia, imporosity in such cases.
For example, the catalytic specie of one or more catalyst layer can point two-layer or more multi-layered put on carrier (especially for ceramic monolith). Preferred way is, flexible program is implemented according to first, the antimony content of the coating that antimony content is the highest relative to antimony content in hot spot catalyst layer, reduces value set in advance by the antimony content of at least one coating of at least one preposition catalyst layer, especially for reducing 20% to 100%. As an alternative or supplement, hot spot catalyst layer has at least two coating for this, wherein, and the coating the highest relative to antimony content, the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of at least one coating in these coatings reduces value set in advance, it is preferable that reduce 20% to 100%. Herein especially can illustratively, relative to internal layer, the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of multiple or at least one layer being arranged on internal layer reduces value set in advance, especially for reducing 20% to 100%. Thus obtaining the advantage in claim 1 also similar to present invention thinking as claimed in claim 1, higher selectivity especially can be realized. The invention flexible program of the multilamellar construction of catalyst layer that what this was mentioned above be related to is not subordinated to the theme of the claims in the present invention 1. In other words, viewpoint according to the present invention, at least one preposition catalyst layer puts in such as carrier rings with multilamellar, but any layer here for described layer, especially be exterior layer, antimony content lower than the antimony content of hot spot catalyst layer (in the hot spot catalyst layer situation of single layer structure); In contrast, when hot spot catalyst layer self has multiple layer and forms heterogeneity, the coating the highest relative to antimony content in hot spot catalyst layer, the antimony content of any layer (most preferably being exterior layer) of preposition catalyst layer is lower.
Embodiment of the present invention according to another especially preferred and same demand for independence protection, it is possible to use the mixture that the catalyst especially different in catalytic active substance forms by least two forms in hot spot catalyst layer. the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of the catalyst the highest relative to antimony content in hot spot catalyst layer, especially it is stibium oxide content, the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of at least one catalyst of hot spot catalyst layer, especially it is stibium oxide content, reduce value set in advance, it is preferable that reduce 20% to 100%. it is also applied for the situation of same demand for independence protection, namely, at the preposition mixture using the catalyst especially different in catalytic active substance forms by least two to form in one or more catalyst layer of this hot spot catalyst layer, wherein, the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of the catalyst the highest relative to antimony content in hot spot catalyst layer, especially it is stibium oxide content, the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of at least one catalyst of the preposition catalyst layer containing catalyst mixture, especially stibium oxide content, reduce value set in advance, preferably reduce 20% to 100%.
Hereafter contact term catalyst layer being described preferred catalyst structure, wherein, when the conversion zone that contact has such as open conduit each other is been described by, this embodiment also belongs to protection domain at technical elements.
According to a preferred embodiment, under only having a preposition catalyst layer situation, the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of this catalyst layer reduces value set in advance relative to the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of hot spot catalyst layer. As an alternative, when there is multiple preposition catalyst layer, in these preposition catalyst layers, the antimony content of at least one of catalytic active substance reduces value set in advance relative to the antimony content of the catalytic active substance of hot spot catalyst layer. High selectivity mentioned above can be obtained by this kind of structure and suppress the generation of less desirable by-product well.
Especially, under the latter event with multiple preposition catalyst layer, the operational stability of phthalic anhydride preparation method also can be significantly increased by this antigravity system.
According to an especially preferred embodiment, in the catalyst layer situation that only one is preposition, the activity substance content of this catalyst layer is less than or equal to the activity substance content of hot spot catalyst layer. As an alternative, when being provided with multiple preposition catalyst layer, these have reduction antimony content precatalyst layer at least one of activity substance content less than or equal to the activity substance content of hot spot catalyst layer.
If the pentoxide content of the catalyst layer that antimony content reduces is 0 weight % to 9 weight %, it is most preferred that is 3 weight % to 6 weight %, then can significantly improve selectivity further.
Additionally, at least one of phosphorus content is 0 weight % to 0.3 weight % in the precatalyst layer of antimony content minimizing, it is most preferred that be 0 weight % to 0.15 weight %, relative to the catalytic active substance of this catalyst layer, then also can improve selectivity of catalyst.
The titles such as the present invention the first catalyst layer used below, the second catalyst layer, the 3rd catalyst layer, the 4th catalyst layer, the 5th catalyst layer will be contacted below: the first catalyst layer is always the catalyst layer being located immediately at gas access. Being referred to as the second catalyst layer from gas outlet direction at the first catalyst layer catalyst layer subsequently, ensuing catalyst layer is the 3rd catalyst layer. And continue catalyst layer followed by and be denoted as the four, the 5th and the 6th optional catalyst layer. 6th and last catalyst layer of the antigravity system with total of six catalyst layer are located immediately at gas outlet.
When altogether only having the catalyst of three layers, before only the catalyst layer of an antimony content minimizing is placed in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, therefore the former is located immediately at gas access. Except this first catalyst layer reduces except antimony content, catalytic active substance (=active substance) content is it is also preferred that be equal to and be particularly preferably less than the activity substance content of second catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. Second go downstream that arrange and catalyst layer closer to gas outlet follows directly after in the first catalyst layer being positioned at gas access, and the antimony content of active substance is corresponding higher. When having the catalyst of total of three catalyst layer, this second catalyst converter layer has the highest hot spot. Ensuing the 3rd catalyst layer more posteriorly arranged that goes downstream is closest to gas outlet, and its activity is usually above the second catalyst layer. The antimony content of last catalyst layer can be equal to, less than or greater than the antimony content of the second layer. To the possible method of the Active Regulation of each catalyst layer known by professional person, wherein, various different measure can be used. The activity of last catalyst layer is improved usually by reducing the accelerator content weakening activity and/or reducing the higher BET surface area content of the titanium dioxide used and/or by adding the accelerator increasing activity and/or being realized by higher activity substance content.
When having the catalyst of total of four layer, one or two antimony contents reduce by the catalyst layer of 20% to 100% and go forward to be placed in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot preferably in direction, gas access. If the catalyst layer only having an antimony content reduction is preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, then the activity substance content of this catalyst layer is equal to or is particularly preferably less than the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, but unrelated with its activity. In the case, having two rearmounted catalyst layers according to the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot of the present invention on gas outlet direction, wherein, the activity of these catalyst layers preferably increases along gas outlet direction.
Having in the embodiment of total of four catalyst layer at another, the catalyst layer of two Sb content minimizings is preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. Antimony content can be inconsistent herein. Preferable case is, wherein the antimony content of a catalyst layer is lower than the antimony content of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, it is particularly preferred that situation be that the antimony content of two catalyst layers is below the antimony content with the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot. The catalyst layer in the present embodiment with the highest hot spot is the 3rd catalyst layer, closest to gas outlet the 4th catalyst layer after which.
In the catalyst situation with total of five layer, there is multiple different choice, can have one, two or three catalyst layers go forward to be placed in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot in direction, gas access. According to the teachings of the present invention, the antimony content of only one catalyst layer in precatalyst layer is only needed to reduce, especially preferred situation is, this preposition catalyst layer filling is highly also the highest, and contained activity substance content is equal to or less than the activity substance content of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. The catalyst layer Sb content that particularly all three is preposition all reduces, and the activity substance content that two of which (loads) catalyst layer highly the highest is low. Especially preferred situation is, in the active substance of the catalyst layer that all three is preposition, Sb content and activity substance content all reduce.
For having the catalyst of five catalyst layers, the quantity according to precatalyst layer, one, two or three catalyst layers can be placed on the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot respectively in gas outlet direction. Rearmounted catalyst layer generally increases along gas outlet's direction activity, and this point as described above, can be realized by many kinds of measures. Herein referred to as the 5th catalyst layer the catalyst layer closest to gas outlet generally in all layers activity the highest.
Preferable case is, in the catalyst with total of five catalyst layer, only have a catalyst layer preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, the Sb content of this catalyst layer is than the Sb content low 20% to 100% of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, and activity substance content is equal to or is preferably shorter than the activity substance content of the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot simultaneously. In embodiments of the invention, three different catalyst layers are placed on the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. In a preferred embodiment, the second catalyst layer increases to the activity of the 5th catalyst layer along gas outlet direction. And the activity of the first preposition catalyst layer can more than, less than or equal to the activity of second catalyst layer with the highest hot spot.
Especially preferred situation is, in the catalyst with total of five catalyst layer, is provided with two preposition catalyst layers, and its antimony content and active substance all reduce. At this, according to the present invention, the first catalyst layer being arranged at gas access has activity minimum in all catalyst layers, and has the Sb-content reducing 20%-100% relative to the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot simultaneously. Second precatalyst layer preferably activity is higher than the first catalyst layer, and the second precatalyst layer is relative to the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, and Sb content reduces 20% to 100%, and activity substance content is same or lower in contrast. The activity of two catalyst layers being placed on the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot preferably increases along gas outlet direction. Especially preferred situation is, catalyst layer last on gas outlet direction has significantly high activity.
Broader selection is correspondingly there will be, these optimizations selecting to relate to the principle of the invention in the catalyst situation with total of six catalyst layer. Substantially relate to activity and selective finely regulating herein.
For having the catalyst of total of six catalyst layer, four catalyst layers can be had at most preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. The composition of preposition catalyst layer and activity can differ completely. The catalyst of the present invention only needs to meet following condition: preposition reduce by 20% to 100% in the Sb content in the catalyst layer of catalyst layer of the highest hot spot with only one layer, and the activity substance content that the activity substance content of this precatalyst layer is compared with the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot is identical or preferably lower. This catalyst layer is the highest preferably in packed height in all precatalyst layers.
In a preferred embodiment, in the catalyst with total of six layer of the present invention, only have a catalyst layer preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. According to the present invention, this precatalyst layer Sb content reduction by 20% to 100% and activity substance content are identical with the activity substance content of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. Preferable case is, activity substance content is less than the activity substance content of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. The catalyst layer with the highest hot spot of this catalyst is the second catalyst layer defined above. Four rearmounted catalyst layers are preferably stepped up along gas outlet direction. It is distinctive in that chemical composition and/or physical property and/or activity substance content between these rearmounted catalyst layers.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, having in the catalyst of total of six catalyst layer, the catalyst layer that two antimony contents and activity substance content reduce is preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. The the first catalyst layer activity in all catalyst layers being located immediately at gas access is minimum, and preferably its activity substance content is also minimum. According to the present invention, the second catalyst layer activity is higher than the first catalyst layer, and preferred activity substance content is also above the first catalyst layer. Meanwhile, antimony content is preferably shorter than the antimony content 20% to 100% of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, and activity substance content is equal to or is preferably shorter than the activity substance content of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. The activity of this second catalyst layer is smaller than or is preferably greater than the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot being connected to behind. In a preferred embodiment, three catalyst layers being placed on the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot along gas outlet direction are stepped up to activity along gas outlet direction. Especially, last catalyst layer activity is high especially, and activity substance content be optionally below the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot activity substance content and/or on upstream direction the activity substance content of the direct preposition catalyst layer in it.
If surprisingly it has been found that relative to have the catalyst layer distance gas access of maximum temperature extreme value closer to single or some catalyst layer in generate without extra hot spot, then be advantageous for. The precatalyst layer that these Sb content reduces is formed so-called secondary hot spot and selectivity of catalyst and service life will be produced harmful effect.
Respectively according to the type of the catalyst only with the precatalyst layer that a Sb content reduces of the present invention and composition, it is positioned at the first catalyst layer of gas access, namely preposition in the catalyst layer of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, its filling is highly 10 to 90cm, it is preferable that filling is highly 20 to 70cm. If only having a catalyst layer in gas access side disposed forwardly of the catalyst layer with the highest local temperature limit, then the filling of this catalyst layer is highly especially preferably 30 to 60cm.
In order to realize best selective and the stability of catalyst, it is preferable that need in situation to coordinate between the activity and packed height of this preposition catalyst layer. Precatalyst layer activity is lower, and the packed height of this precatalyst layer can chosen be then higher. Primary and foremost purpose is, maximum hot spot is present in the catalyst layer that followed antimony content is higher all the time. On the other hand, the total height of the packed height used must guarantee that the reacting gas of reactor exit converts completely.
According to particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, using two catalyst windrows before having the catalyst layer of the highest local temperature extreme value, wherein, the total fill able of two precatalyst layers is highly preferred is 15 to 90cm, it is particularly preferred that be 30 to 70cm.
If two catalyst layers are positioned at before the catalyst layer with maximum temperature extreme value on direction, gas access, then favourable situation is, the the first catalyst layer packed height arranged closest to gas access is 5 to 25cm, and its activity in all catalyst layers is minimum. Especially advantageous situation is, the packed height of this first catalyst layer is chosen as 5 to 15cm. This minimum sluggish first catalyst layer of activity is lighted running into catalyst windrow beginning for avoiding the raw material not evaporated completely. Therefore, the operational stability of phthalic anhydride preparation method it is remarkably improved by this antigravity system.
In a preferred embodiment, the packed height of the second precatalyst layer is 20 to 60cm, is 30 to 50cm in an especially preferred embodiment.
The packed height of each catalyst layer is crucial to be determined by the total packed height of reaction tube, and the total packed height of reaction tube is determined by pipe range. According to prior art, total packed height is currently chosen as 2.80 to 3.40m mostly.
In a preferred embodiment, the packed height with the first catalyst layer of the catalyst of total of four catalyst layer is 30 to 60cm, the packed height that second catalyst layer (has the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot) is 80 to 150cm, the packed height of the 3rd catalyst layer is 40 to 100cm, and the packed height of the 4th catalyst layer is 40 to 100cm. Especially preferred situation is, the packed height of the first catalyst layer is 30 to 50cm, and the packed height of the second catalyst layer is 90 to 130cm, and the packed height of the 3rd catalyst layer is 50 to 80cm, and the packed height of the 4th catalyst layer is 50 to 80cm.
Have in the catalyst of total of five catalyst layer, preferable case is, according to the total packed height used, the packed height of the first catalyst layer is 5 to 15cm, the packed height of the second catalyst layer is 20 to 50cm, the packed height of the 3rd catalyst layer (hot spot) is 80 to 130cm, and the packed height of the 4th catalyst layer is 50 to 100cm, and the packed height of the 5th catalyst layer is 50 to 100cm.
It is preferable to carry out in flexible program at one of the catalyst with total of six catalyst layer, the packed height of the first catalyst layer is 5 to 15cm, the packed height of the second catalyst layer is 30 to 50cm, the packed height that 3rd catalyst layer (has the catalyst windrow of the highest hot spot) is 80 to 130cm, the packed height of the 4th catalyst layer is 40 to 60cm, the packed height of the 5th catalyst layer is 60 to 80cm, and the packed height of the 6th catalyst layer is 50 to 70cm.
Dissimilar according to PSA catalyst used in the present invention respectively, the activity of the catalyst layer on direction, gas access is smaller than and/or more than the activity of the catalyst layer with maximum local temperature extreme value.
The activity being positioned at the single or some catalyst layer after the windrow with maximum temperature extreme value is typically larger than the catalyst layer with maximum temperature extreme value, and wherein, catalyst layer activity increases along gas outlet direction by catalyst layer.
Especially preferred situation is, the catalyst layer arranged closest to gas access has activity low especially, thus the operational stability of phthalic anhydride preparation method can be improved. Professional person knows, and industry phthalic anhydride equipment is often blasted at reactor inlet place, is especially prone to when load reactor is higher occur. Its reason is contacting for the droplets of feed do not evaporated completely and catalyst windrow beginning often. Thus causing the local pole high capacity of catalyst windrow section start on each catalyst ring, now, if the catalyst activity being positioned at reactor inlet is too high, then " out of hand " condition can be caused. In order to avoid there is above-mentioned lighting, the relatively low catalyst of activity or inactive ceramic body can be used, but, wherein, the windrow being positioned at gas access under latter event is not involved in reaction, and raw material does not convert in this part of windrow. The shorter old-fashioned reactor of pipe range is then in existing defects in this respect, and reason is that residue length remaining, by the pipe of catalyst filling is no longer enough to ensure that raw material converts completely or is no longer enough to ensure that enough product qualities.
Preferably by design of scheme catalyst layer shown below activity:
AK (L1) < < AK (L2) < /=/ > AK (L3) < AK (L4) < AK (L5) < AK (L6)
AK=catalyst layer activity; Li=i-th catalyst layer
For example, professional person can reduce catalyst layer activity by following conventional measure:
-reduce activity substance content, and/or
-reduce the TiO used2Average BET surface area, and/or
-improve caesium content, and/or
-reduce catalyst windrow density, and/or
-mix inert material, and/or
-improve the accelerator content weakening activity, and/or
The accelerator content of-reduction enhanced activity, and/or
-reduce V2O5Content, and/or
-improve antimony content
Or two or more above-mentioned combined measures are used.
In the preferred embodiments of the invention, use unconventional measure to regulate activity and selectivity, the task of the relevant catalyst layer in the position being specifically dependent upon in catalyst bed each catalyst layer and each catalyst layer total backlash (Gesamtspiel).
Preferable case is, the active substance chemical composition of each catalyst layer is different and/or physical property is different. Thus not distinguishing each catalyst layer merely by its different activity substance content.
The preparation method of each catalyst layer and respective composition are known by professional person.
Find within the scope of the present invention, in order to improve selectivity relative to conventional and known catalyst when same stable operation and high raw material are passed through to measure, it is possible to each catalyst layer with special nature and composition is combined use in an advantageous manner.
In a preferred embodiment of catalyst according to the invention, distribute the activity substance content of each layer as shown below:
AM (L1) < < AM (L2) < AM (L3) < AM (L4) < /=AM (L5) > AM (L6)
AM: activity substance content; Li=i-th catalyst layer
According to the present invention, for multi-layer catalyst, favourable situation is, described in catalyst as described in the present invention, according to the length of each layer in catalyst bed and position, activity substance content is carried out classification respectively.
For having the catalyst of total of six catalyst layer, the classification of activity substance content is such as follows:
Have been found that favourable situation is, in order to avoid when incomplete evaporation owing to the very high material concentration in local causes that mixture is lighted, the first catalyst layer activity substance content is extremely low. The second preferred activity substance content of catalyst layer is apparently higher than the first catalyst layer, and especially preferred is that the second catalyst layer activity substance content is lower than the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. The activity substance content with the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot is preferably intermediate value, thus both can guarantee the guide properly to hot spot when high capacity, the raw material of the overwhelming majority can be changed again, and then in the active catalyst layer that downstream is connected to thereafter, not aoxidize the raw material of notable share.
In example catalyst, in order to final lion's share ground converts raw material, it is next to the activity substance content of the catalyst layer after there is the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot and activity is above the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot. Wherein the activity substance content in the two catalyst layer is roughly the same, and closer to the activity of catalyst layer of hot spot catalyst layer lower than the catalyst layer being connected to behind. This kind of activity promotes can such as be reached by other measure known by professional person, it is preferable that by the reduction of caesium content. In order to keep by-product level for low as far as possible, the 6th last, to be positioned at gas outlet catalyst layer activity is high. According to the present invention, the activity substance content of this last catalyst layer is lower than having the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot and/or being located immediately at the catalyst layer in its front. If having been found that, the activity height of the catalyst layer being positioned at QI KOU outlet and activity substance content are also high, then will cause that integer catalyzer selectivity reduces.
According to a preferred embodiment, there are two catalyst layers in the multi-layer catalyst of total of six catalyst layer preposition in the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot, the activity substance content of the first catalyst layer is 3 weight % to 10 weight %, it is particularly preferred that be 3 weight % to 6 weight %. The activity substance content of the second catalyst layer is preferably 4 weight % to 11 weight %, it is particularly preferred that be 5 weight % to 9 weight %. Have been found that the activity substance content of the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot is preferably 5 weight % to 12 weight %, it is particularly preferred that be 6 weight % to 11 weight %, be more preferably 7 weight % to 9 weight %. In a preferred embodiment, the activity substance content of the 4th and the 5th catalyst layer is 5 weight % to 15 weight %, is especially 6 weight % to 12 weight %, is especially 7 weight % to 11 weight %.
In a preferred embodiment, the activity substance content closest to the last catalyst layer of gas outlet is 4 weight % to 11 weight %, and especially preferred is 5 weight % to 10 weight %.
And following catalyst; namely activity substance content keeps catalyst that is equal and/or that reduce and/or increase from the catalyst layer containing the highest hot spot to the catalyst layer being positioned at gas outlet; fall within protection domain; reason is in that; the activity of the catalyst layer being especially placed on the catalyst layer with the highest hot spot can be realized by various modes, and selectivity significantly can't be caused to reduce.
The active substance of each catalyst layer can such as have different chemical compositions. As an alternative or supplement, each catalyst layer, especially be first and second preposition catalyst layer, it is possible to be only distinctive in that activity substance content difference.
In a preferred embodiment of catalyst according to the invention, the main component of each catalyst layer is at least the vfanadium compound in the titanium dioxide of anatase modifications form and active substance. In addition, it is common to use antimonial, especially for using antimony oxide to promote heat stability and the service life of catalyst. Additionally, use cesium compound as improving selectivity and weakening active component in the catalyst of the present invention. Favourable way is, especially uses phosphorus compound to improve activity in the catalyst layer being arranged in gas outlet uses.

In the preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the antimony content with the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot is 0 weight % to 5 weight %, is especially 1 weight % to 4 weight %, it is particularly preferred that be that 1.5 weight % to 3.5 weight % is (as Sb2O3Calculate).
In a preferred embodiment of catalyst according to the invention, the antimony content being placed in the catalyst layer after having the catalyst layer of the highest hot spot raises first further along gas outlet direction, it is preferably 0 weight % to 5 weight %, it is particularly preferred that be that 1.5 weight % to 4 weight % is (as Sb2O3Calculate).

Different antimony contents is mainly used in controlling the selectivity of each catalyst layer, and is not intended to control activity, and reason is in that the activity of catalyst is only had low impact by stibium oxide. In a preferred embodiment, the stibium oxide content of all catalyst layers is 0 weight % to 5 weight %, it is particularly preferred that be 0 weight % to 3.5 weight %. Present invention also contemplates that such catalyst: hot spot catalyst layer antimony content is the highest, in the middle part of rearmounted catalyst layer, the antimony content of divided catalyst layer is lower than the antimony content of the active substance of hot spot catalyst layer, and the antimony content of partially catalyzed oxidant layer is higher than the antimony content of the active substance of hot spot catalyst layer.
