Abstract: A process for preparing formaldehyde by oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol comprises passing a gas mixture (i) comprisinga) from 0.1 to 50% by volume of methanol,b) from 0.1 to 30% by volume of oxygen,c) from 0 to 50% by volume of nitrogen oxide andd) from 0 to 60% by volume of water at from 150 to 800.degree. C. through a phosphorus-doped silver catalyst fixed bed (a) and applying from 0.01 to 100 ppm by weight of phosphorus, based on the phosphorus-doped silver catalyst fixed bed, in the form of a finely divided phosphorus compound having a melting point or decomposition temperature of more than 500.degree. C. (phosphorus compound P) to the phosphorus-doped silver catalyst fixed bed (a) per kg of methanol which is passed through in the form of the gas mixture (i) per cm.sup.2 of the cross-sectional area of the phosphorus-doped silver catalyst fixed bed (a).

Abstract: A phosphorus-doped silver catalyst fixed bed is obtainable byI. arranging silver crystals obtained by electrolytic deposition of silver from an aqueous silver salt solution to form a starting silver catalyst fixed bed,II. producing an activated silver catalyst fixed bed from the starting silver catalyst fixed bed by passing through the latter, at from 150 to 800.degree. C., a gas mixture comprising methanol and oxygen (gas mixture M), andIII. bringing the activated silver catalyst fixed bed into contact with from 1 to 20,000 ppm by weight of phosphorus, based on the silver, in the form of a finely divided phosphorus compound having a melting point or decomposition temperature of more than 500.degree. C. (phosphorus compound P).
