  • Patent number: 7732639
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing acrylic acid by oxidizing propylene and then acrolein, involving the recycling of gases that had not reacted by means of a partial oxidation of the propane, in parallel, at the end of the acrylic acid recovery step, then returning, to the propylene-converting reactor, a gas rich in both propane and propylene having been subjected to a second passage in the acrylic acid recovery column.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 8, 2010
    Assignee: Arkema France
    Inventors: Jean-Luc Dubois, Stephanie Serreau, Fabienne Desdevises
  • Patent number: 7345198
    Abstract: The invention concerns the production of acrylic acid from propane in the presence of molecular oxygen. Said method consists in passing a gas mixture comprising propane, molecular oxygen, water vapour and, optionally, an inert gas, on a catalyst of formula (I) MolVaTebNbcSidOx to oxidize propane into acrylic acid, the propane/molecular oxygen mol ratio in the initial gas mixture being not less than 0.5.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7332625
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing acrylic acid from propane, which consists in passing a gas mixture including propane, water, vapor, and optionally an inert gas and/or molecular oxygen, on a catalyst of formula (I): Mo1VaSbbNbcSidOx, wherein: a ranges between 0.006 and 1, inclusively; b ranges between 0.006 and 1, inclusively; c ranges between 0.006 and 1, inclusively; d ranges between 0 and 3.5, inclusively; and x is the amount of oxygen bound to the other elements and depends on their state of oxidation, for oxidizing propane into acrylic acid, and which is carried out in the presence of molecular oxygen, the propane/molecular oxygen mol ratio in the initial gas mixture is not less than 0.5.
