  • the oxygen- containing gas residence time is about 3 seconds to about 30 seconds. Total gas flow rate and oxygen concentr ation must be sufficient to provide the needed oxygen for solids re-oxidation to occur within the selected gas and solids residence time.
  • the oxidized solids are then recycled to the reaction zone.
  • the required amount of solids and the required solids circulation rate depend on the extent to which the solids oxidation reaction is carried out in the regeneration zone (as opposed to the reaction zone), the amount of propylene to be reacted, the amount of mobile (or reactive) oxygen contained by the solids, and the reaction zone process conditions that determine the amount of solids oxygen used per pass.
  • oxygen concentration in the reaction zone is low, or zero, and substantially all of the solids re-oxidation reaction is carried out in the regeneration zone, a high solids circulation rate is required.

The only difference was that the salt precursor after drying was not precalcined at 225°C in air but instead was directly milled to the desired particle size range and mixed with polysilicic acid solution. This slurry was then spray dried and the resulting solids were precalcined at 225°C in air and then calcined at 450°C for 9 hours in air to produce the attrition resistant solids. The process variables and test result data for these additional runs are presented in Table 5.
