Publication number: 20110152073Abstract: A method for the start-up of a process for the epoxidation of ethylene comprising: initiating an epoxidation reaction by reacting a feed gas composition containing ethylene, and oxygen, in the presence of an epoxidation catalyst at a temperature of about 180° C. to about 210° C.; adding to the feed gas composition about 0.05 ppm to about 2 ppm of moderator; increasing the first temperature to a second temperature of about 240° C. to about 250° C., over a time period of about 12 hours to about 60 hours; and maintaining the second temperature for a time period of about 50 hours to about 150 hours.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicant: SCIENTIFIC DESIGN COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Harald Dialer, Andrzej Rokicki, Anding Zhang

Patent number: 7776288Abstract: A charging device for a tubular reactor has metering chambers which can be filled with filling material, such as, for example, catalytically coated carrier material, it being possible for a respective tube of the tubular reactor to be filled via a feed device which adjoins the metering chamber. The metering chamber has a sloping surface and an opposing surface for supporting the filling material, which run at an angle to one another.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Süd-Chemie AGInventors: Harald Dialer, Michael Hoffman

Patent number: 7615513Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a catalyst comprising at least one first catalyst zone located towards the gas inlet, a second catalyst zone located closer to the gas outlet and a third catalyst zone located even closer to or at the gas outlet for the preparation of phthalic anhydride by gas-phase oxidation of o-xylene and/or naphthalene, with the catalyst zones preferably each having an active composition comprising TiO2, characterized in that the catalyst activity of the first catalyst zone is higher than the catalyst activity of the second catalyst zone. Furthermore, a preferred process for the preparation of phthalic anhydride is described.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Süd-Chemie AGInventors: Christian Guckel, Harald Dialer, Marvin Estenfelder, Werner Pitschi

Patent number: 7592293Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for improving or optimizing a catalyst for the preparation of phthalic anhydride by gas-phase oxidation of o-xylene and/or naphthalene, which comprises the following steps: a) provision of a starting catalyst (C) comprising at least one first catalyst zone located towards the gas inlet and a second catalyst zone located closer to the gas outlet, with the catalyst zones preferably each having an active composition comprising TiO2; b) replacement of part of the first catalyst zone by an upstream zone of a catalyst having a higher activity than the first catalyst zone in order to provide an improved catalyst. Furthermore, an improved catalyst obtainable by this process is described.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2007Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Sud-Chemie AGInventors: Christian Guckel, Harald Dialer, Marvin Estenfelder, Werner Pitschi
