VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINES KATALYSATORS FÜR GASPHASENOXIDATIONEN DURCH BESCHICHTEN VON TRÄGERMATERIAL IN EINER FLIESSBETTAPPARATURMETHOD FOR PRODUCING A CATALYST FOR GAS PHASE OXIDATION BY COATING CARRIER MATERIAL IN A FLUID BED APPARATUS
Beschreibungdescription
Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Katalysators für Gasphasenoxidationen, sowie die Verwendung des Katalysators zur katalytischen Gasphasenoxidation von aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen zu Carbonsäuren und/oder Carbonsäureanhydriden, insbesondere zur Herstellung von Phthalsäureanhydrid aus o-Xylol, Naphthalin oder Gemischen davon. 10 Eine Vielzahl von Carbonsäuren und/oder Carbonsäureanhydriden wird technisch durch die katalytische Gasphasenoxidation von aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen, wie Benzol, den Xylolen, Naphthalin, Toluol oder Durol, in Festbettreaktoren hergestellt. Man kann auf diese Weise z. B. Benzoesäure, Maleinsäureanhydrid, Phthalsäu- 15 reanhydrid, Isophthalsäure, Terephthalsäure oder Pyromellithsäureanhydrid erhalten. Im Allgemeinen leitet man ein Gemisch aus einem sauerstoffhaltigen Gas und dem zu oxidierenden Ausgangsmaterial durch Rohre, in denen sich eine Schüttung eines Katalysators befindet. Zur Temperaturregelung sind die Rohre von einem Wärmeträgermedium, beispielsweise einer Salzschmelze, umgeben.Process for the preparation of a catalyst for gas phase oxidations, and the use of the catalyst for the catalytic gas phase oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons to carboxylic acids and / or carboxylic acid anhydrides, in particular for the production of phthalic anhydride from o-xylene, naphthalene or mixtures thereof. 10 A large number of carboxylic acids and / or carboxylic anhydrides is produced industrially by the catalytic gas phase oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, the xylenes, naphthalene, toluene or durol, in fixed bed reactors. You can z. B. benzoic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid or pyromellitic anhydride. In general, a mixture of an oxygen-containing gas and the starting material to be oxidized is passed through pipes in which there is a bed of catalyst. For temperature control, the tubes are surrounded by a heat transfer medium, for example a molten salt.
20 Als Katalysatoren haben sich für diese Oxidationsreaktionen so genannte Schalenkatalysatoren bewährt, bei denen die katalytisch aktive Masse schalenförmig auf einem inerten Trägermaterial, wie Steatit aufgebracht ist. Dabei können unterschiedliche katalytisch aktive Massen in einer oder mehreren Schalen aufgebracht werden. Als kataly- 25 tisch aktiver Bestandteil der katalytisch aktiven Masse dieser Schalenkatalysatoren dient im allgemeinen neben Titandioxid Vanadiumpentoxid. Des weiteren können in der katalytisch aktiven Masse in geringen Mengen eine Vielzahl anderer oxidischer Verbindungen enthalten sein, die als Promotoren die Aktivität und Selektivität des Katalysators beeinflussen. 30 Zur Herstellung derartiger Schalenkatalysatoren wird eine wässrige Suspension der Aktivmassenbestandteile und/oder deren Vorläuferverbindungen oder Quellen auf das Trägermaterial bei erhöhter Temperatur aufgesprüht, bis der gewünschte Aktivmassenanteil am Katalysatorgesamtgewicht erreicht ist, z.B. die DE-A 40 06 935. Hierzu 35 eignen sich insbesondere sogenannte Wirbelschicht- bzw. Fließbettapparate. In diesen Vorrichtungen wird das Trägermaterial in einem aufsteigenden Gasstrom, insbesondere Luft, fluidisiert. Die Apparate bestehen meist aus einem konischen oder kugelförmigen Behälter, bei dem das fluidisierende Gas von unten oder von oben über ein Zentralrohr eingeführt wird. Die Suspension wird über Düsen von oben, seitlich oder vonSo-called shell catalysts, in which the catalytically active composition is applied in a shell-like manner to an inert support material, such as steatite, have proven to be useful as catalysts for these oxidation reactions. Different catalytically active materials can be applied in one or more shells. In addition to titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide is generally used as the catalytically active component of the catalytically active composition of these coated catalysts. In addition, the catalytically active composition can contain a large number of other oxidic compounds in small amounts, which as promoters influence the activity and selectivity of the catalyst. 30 To produce shell catalysts of this type, an aqueous suspension of the active composition constituents and / or their precursor compounds or sources is sprayed onto the support material at elevated temperature until the desired proportion of active composition in the total catalyst weight is reached, e.g. DE-A 40 06 935. For this 35 so-called fluidized bed or fluidized bed apparatuses are particularly suitable. In these devices, the carrier material is fluidized in an ascending gas stream, in particular air. The devices usually consist of a conical or spherical container, in which the fluidizing gas is introduced from below or from above via a central tube. The suspension is sprayed from above, from the side or from the nozzle
40 unten in die Wirbelschicht eingesprüht. Vorteilhaft ist der Einsatz eines mittig bzw. konzentrisch um das Zentralrohr angeordneten Leitrohrs. Innerhalb des Leitrohrs herrscht eine höhere Gasgeschwindigkeit, welche die Trägerpartikel nach oben transportiert. Im äußeren Ring liegt die Geschwindigkeit nur wenig oberhalb der Lockerungsgeschwindigkeit. So werden die Partikel kreisförmig vertikal bewegt.40 sprayed into the bottom of the fluidized bed. It is advantageous to use a guide tube arranged centrally or concentrically around the central tube. There is a higher gas velocity inside the guide tube, which transports the carrier particles upwards. In the outer ring the speed is only slightly above the loosening speed. The particles are moved vertically in a circular manner.
45 Ein geeigneter Fließbettapparat ist beispielsweise in der DE-A 40 06 935 beschrieben. Um die Qualität der Beschichtung zu verbessern, wurde in der Technik dazu übergegangen, der Suspension organische Binder, bevorzugt Copolymere, vorteilhaft in Form einer wässrigen Dispersion, von Vinylacetat/Vinyllaurat, Vinylacetat/Acrylat, Sty- rol/Acrylat sowie Vinylacetat/Ethylen zuzusetzen. Der Binderzusatz hat zudem den Vorteil, dass die Aktivmasse gut auf dem Träger haftet, so dass Transport und Einfüllen des Katalysators erleichtert werden.45 A suitable fluid bed apparatus is described for example in DE-A 40 06 935. In order to improve the quality of the coating, technology has been adopted to add organic binders, preferably copolymers, advantageously in the form of an aqueous dispersion, of vinyl acetate / vinyl laurate, vinyl acetate / acrylate, styrene / acrylate and vinyl acetate / ethylene to the suspension. The addition of binder also has the advantage that the active composition adheres well to the support, so that the catalyst can be transported and filled in more easily.
Bei der thermischen Behandlung bei Temperaturen über 80 bis 450 °C entweicht der Binder durch thermische Zersetzung und/oder Verbrennung aus der aufgetragenen Schicht. Meist erfolgt die thermische Behandlung in situ im Oxidationsreaktor.During thermal treatment at temperatures above 80 to 450 ° C, the binder escapes from the applied layer through thermal decomposition and / or combustion. The thermal treatment is usually carried out in situ in the oxidation reactor.
Die Qualität der so erhältlichen Trägerkatalysatoren, insbesondere die Beschichtungs- qualität, hängt entscheidend von Betriebsparameter der Fließbettapparatur ab, insbe- sondere von der Gesamtmasse des Trägermaterials in der Apparatur, des Bindemittelgehalts der eingesprühten Suspension, des Durchflusses und der Temperatur des zur Verwirbelung eingeblasenen Gasstroms und Dosierrate, mit der man die Suspension auf den fluidisierten inerten Träger aufsprüht. Die Einstellung der wichtigsten Betriebsparameter der Fließbettapparatur zur Beschichtung der Trägermaterialien erfolgt im Stand der Technik durch aufwändige empirische Testreihen, die bereits im Produktionsmaßstab erfolgen müssen, da eine Skalierung vom Labor- oder Technikumsmaßstab auf den Produktionsmaßstab wegen fehlender oder unzureichender theoretischer Modelle praktisch nicht möglich ist.The quality of the supported catalysts obtainable in this way, in particular the coating quality, depends crucially on the operating parameters of the fluidized bed apparatus, in particular on the total mass of the carrier material in the apparatus, the binder content of the sprayed-in suspension, the flow rate and the temperature of the gas stream blown in for swirling and Dosing rate at which the suspension is sprayed onto the fluidized inert carrier. In the state of the art, the most important operating parameters of the fluid bed apparatus for coating the carrier materials are set by means of complex empirical test series, which must already be carried out on a production scale, since scaling from the laboratory or pilot plant scale to the production scale is practically impossible due to the lack of or inadequate theoretical models.
In WO 98 14274 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Trägerkatalysators in einer Fließbettappartur beschrieben, bei dem eine weniger dünne 100 μm Schicht einer Aktivmasse in wässrige Suspension auf einen inerten Träger von 5 μm - 20 mm Durchmesser aufgebracht wird.WO 98 14274 describes a process for producing a supported catalyst in a fluidized bed apparatus, in which a less thin 100 μm layer of an active composition is applied in aqueous suspension to an inert support of 5 μm to 20 mm diameter.
WO 02 096557 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung in einer Fließbettapparatur von geträgerten metallischen Nanopartikeln als Katalysatoren.WO 02 096557 describes a process for the production in a fluidized bed apparatus of supported metallic nanoparticles as catalysts.
US 4 977 126 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Trägerkatalysatoren in einer Fließbettapparatur, bei dem die Katalysatoren aus metallischer Cobalt-Schicht auf Oxid-Trägern besteht.US 4 977 126 describes a process for the production of supported catalysts in a fluidized bed apparatus, in which the catalysts consist of a metallic cobalt layer on oxide supports.
FR 2791 905 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Trägerkatalysatoren, bei dem die Suspension aus feinen Partikeln mit 10-100 μm Durchmesser und einer Dichte von mehr als 1000 kg/m3 besteht und etwa 30% größerer Partikeln mit Durchmessern von 0,4 - 1 mm enthielt.FR 2791 905 describes a process for producing supported catalysts in which the suspension consists of fine particles with a diameter of 10-100 μm and a density of more than 1000 kg / m 3 and about 30% larger particles with a diameter of 0.4-1 mm contained.
Allerdings werden in diesen Dokumenten weder Katalysatoren für Gasphasenoxidatio- nen, noch die Beschichtung von Ringen beschrieben. Der Erfindung liegt daher das technische Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Katalysators für Gasphasenoxidationen in einer Fließbettapparatur anzugeben, bei dem man ohne aufwändige Vorversuche eine gleichmäßige und reproduzierbare Beschichtung eines Trägermaterials erhält.However, these documents do not describe catalysts for gas phase oxidation or the coating of rings. The invention is therefore based on the technical problem of specifying a method for producing a catalyst for gas phase oxidations in a fluidized bed apparatus, in which a uniform and reproducible coating of a support material is obtained without complex preliminary tests.
Überraschend wurde gefunden, dass man dieses technische Problem lösen kann, wenn man die in die Apparatur eingewogene Menge an Trägermaterial, den Durchfluss und die Temperatur des zugeführten Gasstroms, sowie die Dosierrate und den Bindemittelgehalt der eingesprühten Suspension aus bestimmten vorgegeben Bereichen, so wählt, dass diese Parameter eine einfache empirisch ermittelte mathematische Relation erfüllen.Surprisingly, it was found that this technical problem can be solved by choosing the amount of carrier material weighed into the apparatus, the flow rate and the temperature of the gas stream supplied, and the metering rate and the binder content of the sprayed-in suspension from certain predetermined ranges, such that these parameters fulfill a simple empirically determined mathematical relation.
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Katalysators für Gasphasenoxidation, bei dem man einen teilchenförmigen inerten Träger einer Gesamtmasse Mτrager in eine Fließbettapparatur einwiegt, wenigstens eine wässrige Suspension eines katalytisch aktiven Materials oder Quellen dafür und Bindemittel mit einem Bindemittelgehalt BSusp bereitstellt, den inerten Träger durch Zufuhr eines auf eine Temperatur TGgs temperierten Gasstroms bei einem Durchfluss QGas fluidisiert, und die Suspension mit einer Dosierrate QSusp auf den fluidisierten inerten Träger aufsprüht.The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a catalyst for gas phase oxidation, in which a particulate inert carrier of a total mass Mτ ra g er is weighed into a fluidized bed apparatus, at least one aqueous suspension of a catalytically active material or sources for it and binders with a binder content B Susp are provided, the inert carrier by supplying a fluidized heated to a temperature T opp gas stream at a flow rate Q gas, and spraying the suspension at a rate Q Susp onto the fluidized inert carrier.
Erfindungsgemäß wählt man QGas, Qsusp , BSuSP , MTrager , und TGgs innerhalb der Bereiche 3000 < QGas [m3/h] ≤ 9000, 1000 < QSusp [g/min] < 3500, 2 < Bsusp [Gew. %] ≤ 18, 60 < MTräger [kg] ≤ 240. 75 < 7Gas [°C] < 120 so aus, dass eine Kenngröße K, die definiert ist als K = 0,020 QGas - 0,055 QSusp + 7,500 ßSüsp - 0,667 MTrager + 2,069 TGas - 7 der Relation 127, 5 < K≤ 202 genügt.According to the invention, one chooses Q Gas , Qsusp, B S u SP , M Trager , and T Ggs within the ranges 3000 <Q Gas [m 3 / h] ≤ 9000, 1000 <Q Susp [g / min] <3500, 2 <Bsusp [wt. %] ≤ 18, 60 <M carrier [kg] ≤ 240. 75 <7 gas [° C] <120 such that a parameter K, which is defined as K = 0.020 Q gas - 0.055 Q susp + 7.500 ß Süsp - 0.667 M carrier + 2.069 T gas - 7 with the relation 127, 5 <K≤ 202 is sufficient.
Wenn die Betriebsparameter diese Relation erfüllen, werden qualitativ hochwertige Schichten erzeugt. Insbesondere wird die Bildung von sogenannten Zwillingen vermeiden, d.h. von aneinanderhaftenden Trägerkörpern, die beispielsweise wegen unzureichender Trocknung oder zuviel Bindemittel entstehen können. Ferner tritt kein oder nur sehr geringer Abrieb durch aufgeplatzte Schichten auf. Auch die Schichten selbst sind sowohl bei Beschichtung der Träger mit einer Schicht als auch mit zwei Schichten gleichmäßiger, als bei einem Beschichtungsverfahren, bei dem ein oder mehre Parameter die obige Relation nicht erfüllen.If the operating parameters meet this relation, high-quality layers are produced. In particular, the formation of so-called twins will be avoided, i.e. of mutually adhering carrier bodies, which can arise, for example, due to insufficient drying or too much binder. Furthermore, no or only very little abrasion occurs due to burst layers. The layers themselves are more uniform both when coating the supports with one layer and with two layers than in a coating method in which one or more parameters do not meet the above relation.
Auch die mechanische Stabilität der Schicht auf dem Träger ist verbessert.The mechanical stability of the layer on the carrier is also improved.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erfolgt das Aufbringen der Schicht(en) des Schalenkatalysators durch beispielsweise durch Aufsprühen einer Suspension von TiO2 und V2O5, die gegebenenfalls Quellen der unten genannten Promotorelemente enthält, auf den fluidisierten Träger.

Dabei können als Vanadiumausgangsverbindungen auch solche mit- verwendet werden, die Vanadium in der Oxidationsstufe +4 enthalten, oder die Vanadium in der Oxidationsstufe +5 und verschiedene Reduktionsmittel enthalten (z.B. NH4 +, bzw. dessen Zersetzungsprodukt NH3), die V5+ zu V4+ reduzieren können. Ein solches Reduktionsmittel können auch Oxalsäure, Oxalat, Hydrazindihydrochlorid, Hydrazinsulfat, Hydrazin(Monohydrat), Hydroxylamin, Hydroxylaminhydrochlorid oder deren Salze sein.Powdery vanadium pentoxide (V 5+ ) and dissolved vanadium, eg. B. vanadyl oxalate (V 4+ ) used.

The vanadium starting compounds used can also be those which contain vanadium in oxidation state +4 or which contain vanadium in oxidation state +5 and various reducing agents (for example NH 4 + or its decomposition product NH 3 ), the V 5+ can reduce to V 4+ . Such a reducing agent can also be oxalic acid, oxalate, hydrazine dihydrochloride, hydrazine sulfate, hydrazine (monohydrate), hydroxylamine, hydroxylamine hydrochloride or their salts.
Die katalytisch aktive Masse kann daneben bis zu 1 Gew.-% einer Cäsiumverbindung, berechnet als Cs, bis zu 1 Gew.-% einer Phosphorverbindung, berechnet als P und bis zu 10 Gew.-% Antimonoxid, berechnet als Sb2O3 enthalten.The catalytically active composition can also contain up to 1% by weight of a cesium compound, calculated as Cs, up to 1% by weight of a phosphorus compound, calculated as P and up to 10% by weight of antimony oxide, calculated as Sb 2 O 3 ,

In der Regel wird aus dieser Gruppe Cäsium als Promotor verwendet.In addition to the optional cesium and phosphorus additives, the catalytically active composition can in principle contain a small number of other oxidic compounds which, as promoters, influence the activity and selectivity of the catalyst, for example by reducing or increasing its activity.

Ferner kommen von den genannten Promotoren noch bevorzugt als Zusätze die Oxide von Niob und Wolfram in Mengen von 0,01 bis 0,50 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die katalytisch wirksame Masse in Betracht. Als die Aktivität erhöhenden aber die Selektivität vermindernden Zusatz kommen vor allem oxidische Phosphorverbindungen insbesondere Phosphorpentoxid in Betracht.Of the promoters mentioned, the oxides of niobium and tungsten in amounts of from 0.01 to 0.50% by weight, based on the catalytically active composition, are also preferred as additives. Oxidic phosphorus compounds, in particular phosphorus pentoxide, are particularly suitable as an activity-increasing but selectivity-reducing additive.
Vor der Beschichtung wird die Suspension vorzugsweise ausreichend lange, z.B. 2 bis 30 Stunden, insbesondere 12 bis 25 Stunden, gerührt, um Agglomerate der suspen- dierten Feststoffe aufzubrechen und eine homogene Suspension zu erhalten. Die Suspension hat typischerweise einen Feststoffgehalt von 20 bis 50 Gew.-%. Das Suspensionsmedium ist im Allgemeinen wässrig, z. B. Wasser selbst oder ein wässriges Gemisch mit einem wassermischbaren organischen Lösungsmittel, wie Methanol, Etha- nol, Isopropanol, Formamid und dergleichen. Wenn die erste oder zweite Suspension TiO2- und V2O5-Teilchen als Katalysatorteilchen weisen vorzugsweise wenigstens 90 Vol.-% der V2O5-Teilchen einen Durchmesser von 20 μm oder weniger und wenigstens 95 Vol.-% der V2O5-Teilchen einen Durchmesser von 30 μm oder weniger auf.Before coating, the suspension is preferably stirred for a sufficiently long time, for example 2 to 30 hours, in particular 12 to 25 hours, in order to break up agglomerates of the suspended solids and to obtain a homogeneous suspension.

Zum Verwirbeln und temperieren der Trägermaterialschüttung in der Fließbettapparatur kann jedes bei den Betriebbedingungen inertes Gas oder Gasgemisch verwendet werden. Vorteilhaft ist das zugeführte Gas aber Luft, was einen besonders kostengünstigen Betrieb der Anlage ermöglicht.Any gas or gas mixture which is inert under the operating conditions can be used for swirling and tempering the bed of carrier material in the fluidized bed apparatus. However, the gas supplied is air, which enables the system to be operated particularly cost-effectively.
Die katalytisch aktive Masse kann auch in zwei oder mehreren Schichten aufgebracht sein. Vorzugsweise besitzen die Schichten unterschiedliche Selektivität und Aktivität. Beispielsweise kann die innere Schicht oder die inneren Schichten einen Antimonoxidgehalt von bis zu 15 Gew.-% und die äußere Schicht einen um 50 bis 100% verringerten Antimonoxidgehalt aufweisen. Beispielsweise kann die innere Schicht und äußere Schicht unterschiedliche P-Menge enthalten.

For example, the inner layer and outer layer can contain different amounts of P. For the production of catalysts with According to the invention, two layers are provided with a second aqueous suspension of catalytically active material and binder and sprayed onto the fluidized carrier coated with the first suspension.
Als inertes Trägermaterial können praktisch alle Trägermaterialien des Standes der Technik, wie sie vorteilhaft bei der Herstellung von Schalenkatalysatoren für die Oxida- tion aromatischer Kohlenwasserstoffe zu Aldehyden, Carbonsäuren und/oder Carbonsäureanhydriden eingesetzt werden, Verwendung finden, beispielsweise Quarz (SiO2), Porzellan, Magnesiumoxid, Zinndioxid, Siliciumcarbid, Rutil, Tonerde (AI2O3), Alumini- umsilikat, Steatit (Magnesiumsilikat), Zirkoniumsilikat, Cersilikat oder Mischungen dieser Trägermaterialien. Das Trägermaterial ist in der Regel nicht-porös. Der Ausdruck "nicht-porös" ist dabei im Sinne von "bis auf technisch unwirksame Mengen an Poren nicht-porös" zu verstehen, da technisch unvermeidlich eine geringe Anzahl Poren im Trägermaterial, das idealerweise keine Poren enthalten sollte, vorhanden sein können. Als vorteilhafte Trägermaterialien sind insbesondere Steatit und Siliciumcarbid hervorzuheben. Die Form des Trägermaterials ist für die erfindungsgemäßen Präkatalysatoren und Schalenkatalysatoren im Allgemeinen nicht kritisch. Beispielsweise können Katalysatorträger in Form von Kugeln, Ringen, Tabletten, Spiralen, Röhren, Extrudaten oder Splitt verwendet werden. Die Dimensionen dieser Katalysatorträger entsprechen denen üblicherweise zur Herstellung von Schalenkatalysatoren für die Gasphasenpar- tialoxidation von aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen verwendeten Katalysatorträgern. Bevorzugt wird Steatit in Form von Kugeln mit einem äußeren Durchmesser von 0,5 bis 10 mm oder Ringen mit einem äußeren Durchmesser von 3 bis 15 mm verwendet.Practically all carrier materials of the prior art, such as are advantageously used in the production of coated catalysts for the oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons to aldehydes, carboxylic acids and / or carboxylic acid anhydrides, can be used as the inert carrier material, for example quartz (SiO 2 ), porcelain, Magnesium oxide, tin dioxide, silicon carbide, rutile, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), aluminum silicate, steatite (magnesium silicate), zirconium silicate, cerium silicate or mixtures of these carrier materials. The carrier material is usually non-porous. The expression "non-porous" is to be understood in the sense of "except for technically ineffective amounts of pores non-porous", since technically inevitably a small number of pores can be present in the carrier material, which ideally should not contain any pores. Steatite and silicon carbide are particularly worth mentioning as advantageous carrier materials. The shape of the support material is generally not critical for the precatalysts and coated catalysts according to the invention. For example, catalyst supports in the form of spheres, rings, tablets, spirals, tubes, extrudates or grit can be used. The dimensions of these catalyst carriers correspond to those of the catalyst carriers usually used for the production of shell catalysts for the gas phase partial oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Steatite in the form of balls with an outer diameter of 0.5 to 10 mm or rings with an outer diameter of 3 to 15 mm is preferably used.
Besonders bevorzugt führt man das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in einer Fließbettapparatur durch, die einen Behälter zu Aufnahme des teilchenförmigen Trägers, in dessen unterem Bereich eine schüsselartige Vertiefung vorgesehen ist, ein Zentralrohr zur Zufuhr des Gases, das sich in dem Behälter im wesentlichen axial nach unten erstreckt und in die Vertiefung mündet, einen im wesentlichen ringförmigen Abweisschirm, der in dem oberen Bereich des Behälters an dem Zentralrohr befestigt ist, und einen in dem unteren Bereich des Behälters angeordneten Leitring, der das Zentralrohr auf einem Teil seiner Länge im wesentlich konzentrisch umgibt, und Mitteln zum Einsprühen der ersten und gegebenenfalls zweiten Suspension umfasst. Eine solche Fließbettapparatur ist beispielsweise in der deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 4006935 beschrieben. Kommerziell erhältliche Fließbettapparturen, die sich zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eigenen sind beispielsweise die Kugel-Coater HKC 150 und HKC 200 der Fa. Hüttlin, Steinen, Deutschland.The process according to the invention is particularly preferably carried out in a fluidized bed apparatus which has a container for receiving the particulate carrier, in the lower region of which a bowl-like depression is provided, a central tube for supplying the gas, which extends essentially axially downward in the container opens into the recess, a substantially ring-shaped deflector screen, which is fastened to the central tube in the upper region of the container, and a guide ring arranged in the lower region of the container, which surrounds the central tube substantially concentrically over part of its length, and means for spraying the first and optionally the second suspension. Such a fluid bed apparatus is described, for example, in German patent application DE 4006935. Commercially available fluid bed apparatuses which are suitable for carrying out the process according to the invention are, for example, the ball coaters HKC 150 and HKC 200 from Hüttlin, Steinen, Germany.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Katalysatoren eignen sich generell zur Gasphasenoxidation aromatischer C6- bis C10-Kohlenwasserstoffe, wie Benzol, den Xylolen, Toluol, Naphthalin oder Durol (1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzol) zu Carbonsäuren und/oder Carbonsäureanhydriden wie Maleinsäureanhydrid, Phthalsäureanhydrid, Benzoesäure und/oder Pyromellithsäuredianhydrid. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher auch die Verwendung des nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Katalysators zur Herstel- lung von Phthalsäureanhydrid aus o-Xyloi, Naphthalin oder Gemischen davon. Zu diesem Zweck werden die erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Katalysatoren in von außen auf die Reaktionstemperatur, beispielsweise mittels Salzschmelzen, thermostati- sierte Reaktionsrohre gefüllt und die SalzbadTemperaturen von im allgemeinen 300 bis 450 °C, vorzugsweise von 320 bis 420 °C und besonders bevorzugt von 340 bis 400 °C und bei einem Überdruck von im allgemeinen 0,1 bis 2,5 bar, vorzugsweise von 0,3 bis 1,5 bar mit einer Raumgeschwindigkeit von im allgemeinen 750 bis 5000 h"1 geleitet. Das dem Katalysator zugeführte Reaktionsgas wird im allgemeinen durch Vermischen von einem molekularen Sauerstoff enthaltenden Gas, das außer Sauer- stoff noch geeignete Reaktionsmoderatoren und/oder Verdünnungsmittel, wie Dampf, Kohlendioxid und/oder Stickstoff, enthalten kann, mit dem zu oxidierenden, aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoff erzeugt, wobei das molekularen Sauerstoff enthaltende Gas im allgemeinen 1 bis 100 mol-%, vorzugsweise 2 bis 50 mol-% und besonders bevorzugt 10 bis 30 mol-% Sauerstoff, 0 bis 30 mol-%, vorzugsweise 0 bis 10 mol-% Was- serdampf sowie 0 bis 50 mol-%, vorzugsweise 0 bis 1 mol-% Kohlendioxid, Rest Stickstoff, enthalten kann. Zur Erzeugung des Reaktionsgases wird das molekularen Sauerstoff enthaltende Gas im allgemeinen mit 30 g bis 150 g je Nm3 Gas des zu oxidierenden, aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffs beschickt. Es hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn in der Katalysatorschüttung Katalysatoren eingesetzt werden, die sich in ihrer katalytischen Aktivität und/oder chemischen Zusammensetzung ihrer Aktivmasse unterscheiden. Üblicherweise wird bei Anwendung zweier Reaktionszonen in der ersten, also zum Gaseintritt des Reaktionsgases hin gelegenen Reaktionszone, ein Katalysator eingesetzt, der in Vergleich zum Katalysator, welcher sich in der zweiten, also zum Gasaustritt hin gelegenen Reaktionszone, befindet, eine etwas geringere katalytische Aktivität hat. Im allgemeinen wird die Umsetzung durch die Temperatureinstellung so gesteuert, dass in der ersten Zone der größte Teil der im Reaktionsgas enthaltenen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoff bei maximaler Ausbeute umgesetzt wird. Vorzugsweise werden drei- bis fünflagige Katalysatorsysteme verwendet, insbesondere drei- und vierlagige Katalysatorsysteme.The catalysts according to the invention are generally suitable for the gas phase oxidation of aromatic C 6 to C 10 hydrocarbons, such as benzene, the xylenes, toluene, naphthalene or durol (1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene) to carboxylic acids and / or carboxylic anhydrides such as maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride , Benzoic acid and / or pyromellitic dianhydride. The invention therefore also relates to the use of the catalyst prepared by the process according to the invention for the production of phthalic anhydride from o-xylene, naphthalene or mixtures thereof. For this purpose, the catalysts prepared according to the invention are filled into reaction tubes thermostatically controlled from the outside to the reaction temperature, for example by means of molten salt, and the salt bath temperatures are generally from 300 to 450 ° C., preferably from 320 to 420 ° C. and particularly preferably from 340 to 400 ° C and at an overpressure of generally 0.1 to 2.5 bar, preferably 0.3 to 1.5 bar with a space velocity of generally 750 to 5000 h "1. The reaction gas fed to the catalyst is generally generated by mixing a gas containing molecular oxygen, which in addition to oxygen can also contain suitable reaction moderators and / or diluents, such as steam, carbon dioxide and / or nitrogen, with the aromatic hydrocarbon to be oxidized, the molecular oxygen-containing gas in generally 1 to 100 mol%, preferably 2 to 50 mol% and particularly preferably 10 to 30 mol% oxygen, 0 to 30 mol%, preferably 0 to 10 mol% water vapor and 0 to 50 mol%, preferably 0 to 1 mol% carbon dioxide, the rest nitrogen. To generate the reaction gas, the molecular oxygen-containing gas is generally charged with 30 g to 150 g per Nm 3 of gas of the aromatic hydrocarbon to be oxidized. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if catalysts are used in the catalyst bed which differ in their catalytic activity and / or chemical composition of their active composition. Usually, when using two reaction zones in the first reaction zone, i.e. towards the gas inlet of the reaction gas, a catalyst is used which has a somewhat lower catalytic activity compared to the catalyst which is located in the second reaction zone, i.e. towards the gas outlet , In general, the reaction is controlled by the temperature setting in such a way that in the first zone most of the aromatic hydrocarbons contained in the reaction gas are converted with maximum yield. Three- to five-layer catalyst systems are preferably used, in particular three- and four-layer catalyst systems.
Die Erfindung wird durch die folgenden Beispiele näher veranschaulicht.The invention is illustrated in more detail by the following examples.
Beispiel 1 (Einschalenkatalysator auf herkömmlichen Trägerringen):Example 1 (single-shell catalyst on conventional carrier rings):

Zu dieser Suspension wurden 30,6 kg organischer Binder, bestehend aus einem Copolymer aus Vinylacetat und Vinyllaurat in Form einer 50 Gew.-%igen wäßerigen Dispersion zugegeben.47.44 kg anatase (BET surface area 9 m 2 / g), 20.34 kg anatase (BET surface area 20 m 2 / g), 5.32 kg vanadium pentoxide, 1.33 kg antimony oxide, 0.30 kg cesium carbonate suspended in 195 l of deionized water and stirred for 18 hours to achieve a homogeneous distribution. 30.6 kg of organic binder consisting of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and vinyl laurate in the form of a 50% by weight aqueous dispersion were added to this suspension.
In einer Fließbettapparatur (Hüttlin HKC 150) wurden 60 kg dieser Suspension auf 150 kg Steatit (Magnesiumsilikat) in Form von Ringen mit Abmessungen von 7 mm x 7 mm x 4 mm (Außendurchmesser x Höhe x Innendurchmesser) aufgesprüht und getrocknet. Die Betriebsparameter waren Luftdurchfluss; 6000 m3/hIn a fluid bed apparatus (Hüttlin HKC 150), 60 kg of this suspension were sprayed onto 150 kg of steatite (magnesium silicate) in the form of rings with dimensions of 7 mm x 7 mm x 4 mm (outer diameter x height x inner diameter) and dried.

Die auf diese Weise aufgebrachte katalytisch aktive Masse, also die Katalysatorschale, enthielt nach einer Stunde Calcination auf 450°C 7,12 Gew.-% Vanadium (berechnet als V2O5), 1 ,8 Gew.-% Antimon (berechnet als Sb2O3), 0,33 Gew.-% Cäsium (berech- net als Cs), 90,75 Gew.-% Titandioxid. Das Gewicht der aufgetragenen Schale betrug 8,0 % des Gesamtgewichtes des fertigen Katalysators.The catalytically active composition applied in this way, i.e. the catalyst shell, contained 7.12% by weight of vanadium (calculated as V 2 O 5 ), 1.8% by weight of antimony (calculated as Sb 2 O 3 ), 0.33% by weight of cesium (calculated as Cs), 90.75% by weight of titanium dioxide.

Der Abrieb nach dreifachem Falltest betrug 25 Gew.-% (nach 1 h Calcination bei 450°C). Bei dem Falltest wurden ca. 50 g Katalysator (calciniert nach einstündiger Wärmebehandlung bei 450°C) durch ein 3 m langes Rohr mit lichtem Durchmesser von 25 mm fallengelassen. Der Katalysator fällt in eine unter dem Rohr stehende Schale, wird von dem bei Aufschlag entstehenden Staub abgetrennt und wieder durch das Rohr fallengelassen. Der Gesamtmassenverlust nach dreimaligem Falltest bzgl. der aufgetragenen Aktivmassenmenge, die 100% entspricht ist ein Maß für die Abriebsfestigkeit des Katalysators.The abrasion after a triple drop test was 25% by weight (after 1 h of calcination at 450 ° C.). In the drop test, approx. 50 g of catalyst (calcined after heat treatment at 450 ° C. for one hour) were dropped through a 3 m long tube with an internal diameter of 25 mm. The catalyst falls into a bowl underneath the tube, is separated from the dust generated when it hits the ground, and is dropped again through the tube. The total mass loss after three drop tests with respect to the amount of active mass applied, which corresponds to 100%, is a measure of the abrasion resistance of the catalyst.
