  • Method for Start-Up of Oxidation Catalysts
    Publication number: 20080312450
    Abstract: Methods comprising: providing an oxidation catalyst bed; and starting up the oxidation catalyst at a temperature of 360° C. to 400° C. with an amount of air of 1.0 to 3.5 standard m3/h and a hydrocarbon loading of 20 to 65 g/standard m3, such that a hot spot having a temperature of 390° C. to <450° C. is formed in the first 7-20% of the catalyst bed.

  • Method for Preforming Oxidation Catalysts
    Publication number: 20080200685
    Abstract: Processes comprising providing a catalyst precursor, and heating the catalyst precursor to a temperature of at least 350° C. in an atmosphere comprising air, wherein air is fed into the atmosphere at a rate of 0.05 to 4.0 standard m3/h, and wherein the catalyst precursor is activated at a temperature of at least 350° C. for more than 9 hours are described along with catalysts formed thereby and uses for such catalysts.
