ABSTRACT:
A gas-phase mixture of propene and oxygen is catalytically oxidized by passing a reactant gas mixture comprising propene and oxygen through a plurality of catalyst containing contact tubes in a fixed bed reactor and simultaneously passing only one heat-exchange medium at elevated temperature over the exterior surfaces of the contact tubes in a longitudinal flow pattern which is cocurrent with the direction of flow of the reactants through said tube; simultaneously superposing a transverse flow on said longitudinal flow of heat exchange medium by means of an arrangement of successive baffles along the contact tubes which leave passage cross-sections free, thereby resulting in a meandrous flow of the heat-exchange medium through the reactor and setting the flow rate of said heat-exchange medium so that its temperature between the point of entry of the medium into the reactor and its point of exit increases by 2.degree. to 10.degree. C.; and obtaining product acrolein at a selectivity .gtoreq.85 mol % from the reactor at a single pass propene conversion .gtoreq.90 mol %.
