  • Publication number: 20090247787
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shell-and-tube reactor that may be used for fixed-bed catalytic partial oxidation, the reactor being characterized by including at least one reaction zone of a first-step reaction zone for mainly producing unsaturated aldehydes and a second-step reaction zone for mainly producing unsaturated acids, wherein at least one reaction zone of the above reaction zones comprises two or more catalytic layers; each of the catalytic layers is packed with a formed product of catalyst that is different in pore density and/or pore size in a catalytically active component; and the pore density and/or pore size is controlled in such a manner that specific surface area of the catalytically active component increases from the inlet of the reactor to the outlet of the reactor. A method for producing unsaturated aldehydes and/or unsaturated fatty acids from olefins using the same reactor is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7365228
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing unsaturated fatty acids from unsaturated aldehydes by means of fixed-bed catalytic partial oxidation in a shell-and-tube reactor, characterized in that the reactor includes a reaction zone for producing unsaturated fatty acids, the reaction zone having an inactive material layer inserted into a position where a hot spot is to be generated in a reaction tube. A fixed-bed shell-and-tube reactor for use in the above method is also disclosed. According to the present invention, at least one layer of inactive material is packed at the point of a hot spot to control the hot spot temperature efficiently, thereby increasing the lifetime of a catalyst and producing unsaturated fatty acids with high yield.
