  • Tablets, cylinders and hollow cylinders may be mentioned as preferred molded articles.
  • a tabletting aid is generally added to the powder and mixed intimately. Tableting aids are generally catalytically inert and improve the tabletting properties of the so-called powder, for example by increasing the sliding and free-flowing properties.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour préparer un précurseur de catalyseur contenant du vanadium, du phosphore et de l'oxygène permettant la préparation d'anhydride d'acide maléique par oxydation hétérogène catalytique en phase gazeuse d'un hydrocarbure qui comprend au moins quatre atomes de carbone. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: réaction de pentoxyde de vanadium (I) en présence d'un alcool primaire ou secondaire, cyclique ou non, ramifié ou non, saturé qui comprend 3 à 6 atomes de carbone (II) avec un composé de phosphore penta- ou trivalent (III) sur une plage de températures allant de 80 à 160 DEG C, sous agitation permanente; puis filtrage de la suspension obtenue. Selon l'invention, la résistance au filtrage <=50 OE 10<13> mPaOEs/m2 est régulée grâce: (a) à la manière dont le composé de phosphore (III) et le pentoxyde de vanadium (I) sont mis en la présence de l'alcool (II); (b) à l'action d'une puissance d'agitation de 0,01 à 0,6 W/kg de la suspension; et/ou (c) au filtrage à une température de 65 DEG C à 160 DEG C. L'invention a également pour objet le précurseur de catalyseur obtenu grâce à ce procédé, un procédé pour préparer un catalyseur à partir du précurseur de catalyseur, le catalyseur obtenu grâce à ce procédé, ainsi qu'un procédé pour préparer de l'anhydride d'acide maléique grâce à ce catalyseur.
