Abstract

Catalytic oxidation of alkenes has become a very important industrial process due to the continuous developments and increasing needs for petrochemical products. Oxidation of propene to acrolein using tin/antimony oxide and bismuth molybdate as catalysts in fluidized bed reactors is the main object of the present work. Optimizing the conditions of the fluidized bed reactor, improving the bed behaviour and their emphasis on the commercial scale reactors are to be studied.

In addition, optimizing the conditions for the oxidation reaction of propene conversion to acrolein with a maximum value of selectivity to the latter is to be examined at a temperature range 350° to 545°C. Kinetics of the reaction and catalyst structure and crystallinity and their part in the reaction are also to be studied.
