- vanadia/titania is one of the most commonly used catalysts [5, 6].
- Eggshell catalyst pellets of millimeter size with solid, inert cores are packed into a fixed bed [7].
- the thickness of the shell typically amounts up to 300 micrometers.
- This special catalyst type is used to prevent activity and PA selectivity reduction by mass transfer limitations inside the porous catalyst.
- the pressure drop over packed beds limits the PA productivity.
- the pellet shape determines the catalyst bed porosity which influences the pressure drop which often limits the space-time-yields of fixed bed reactors. Therefore hollow cylinders or rings are commonly used as catalyst shapes to keep the pressure drop as low as possible [5, 8, 9].
- the partial oxidation of o-xylene to PA is a highly exothermic reaction (typically 1300 to 1800 kJ mol "1 ) [5].
- the evolving heat has to be transferred effectively out of the catalyst bed, because hot spots above 500 °C deactivate the catalyst irreversibly [7, 8] and lead to an increased risk of thermal reactor runaway [10].
- Porous supports such as ceramic foams can improve the heat transfer compared to packed beds of spheres [11].
- An open-pore structure and a high void fraction lead to a lower pressure drop and an increased heat transfer by radiation over the foam height compared to packed beds [12].
- the possible formation of a turbulent gas flow can increase the heat and mass transfer compared to a laminar flow in honeycombs [12, 13].

- the anatase crystal structure shows higher catalytic activity than other crystal structures.
- a high dispersion of vanadia on titania, enabling a good accessibility, is regarded crucial for a high activity.

- Monomeric and polymeric vanadia species show enhanced reactivity in selective oxidations as compared to crystalline vanadia.
- the selectivity is mainly influenced by the oxidation state of the vanadium itself and the modifications taking place during the catalytic reaction [15]. Disclosure of the Invention

- a thermocouple inserted in the thermowell measured the 5 temperature along the catalyst bed.
- the reactant gas flow can be piped through either the bypass or the reactor.
- GC Gas analysis
- Afterburner and off-gas analysis The complete gas flow from the reactor outlet together with compressed air (800 niL min "1 ) is directed to a catalytic afterburner (CAB) coated with a spherical Al 2 O 3 supported Pd catalyst.
- the CAB is o an electrically heated (450°C) tubular reactor with a length of 250 mm and an inner diameter of 20 mm.
- the off-gas after the CAB was analyzed continuously by an infrared- detectors (Leybold-Haereus, Binosl) for of CO and CO 2 .
- the CAB was bypassed to determine the amount of CO and CO 2 5 produced during reaction.
- the total volume gas-flows of the outlet were varied between 120 and 600 mL min "1 in order to adjust different residence times.
- the mass of the active component in the reactor ranged from 15 to 45 mg in case of the FSP made catalysts and from 0.5 to 1.5 g in case of the wet-phase made catalysts.
- Temperature 5 measurements inside the catalytic bed showed constant temperatures throughout the fixed bed around 366 0 C ⁇ 1°C. Therefore, isothermal conditions for both, FSP-made and wet-phase made reference catalysts, were assumed.
- the data reported refer to average values calculated from 4 to 6 analyses at steady state conditions. 0
- Figure 3 shows the dependence of specific surface area (SSA) of flame-made vanadia/titania on the production rate.
- SSA specific surface area
- the liquid feed rate and the dispersion gas feed rate was kept constant during experiments.
- the SSA (squares) of the powders decreases with increasing the total metal concentration in the precursor solution, which is consistent with the results of other studies on mixed metal oxides produced by flame spray pyrolysis [22, 23].
- Higher combustion enthalpy densities and high titania concentrations favor the agglomeration and coalescence of the particles in the gas- phase, reducing the overall specific surface area [24].
- the active component exhibits 195 m 2 g "1 SSA. This decreases with increasing precursor concentration until it approaches a constant value at
- the anatase crystal size increased with increasing production rate from s 10 nm up to 32 nm. Crystal sizes (diamonds) correspond very well to calculated d ⁇ ET (circles), which are slightly below. Small deviation between d ⁇ ET and anatase crystal size are due to the simpUfying assumptions made in the calculation of the d ⁇ ET - For 2.6 g(V2 ⁇ 5/TiO 2 ) h "1 production rate the lowest anatase content of 82 wt.% was found. For production rates above 17 g(V 2 0s/Ti0 2 ) h '1 > 94 wt.% anatase content 0 were obtained.
- the FSP-made as prepared vanadia/titania shows an almost pure anatase crystal phase (> 94 wt.%) and no evidence of any vanadia crystal structure.
- Figure 5 shows TEM (a) and SEM (b) images of primary particles of the wet-phase catalyst.
- Primary particles are non-spherical and sizes are mainly above 100 nm.
- Electron diffraction analysis shows the crystalline structure of the particles.
- the SEM image shows the calcined split fraction of the wet-phase made V 2 O 5 ZTiO 2 (0.244 to 0.5 mm) as it was used for the catalytic test.
- Sieved split agglomerates consist of many primary particles with no or slight indication of sintering.
- Pore size distribution The pore size distributions of different powders are shown in Figure 6.
- the production rate has almost no significant influence on the pore size distribution of the flame-made V 2 0s/Ti0 2 for SSAs ranging from small (89 g(V 2 0 5 /Ti0 2 ) h '1 ) to high (17 g(V 2 0 5 /Ti0 2 ) h '1 ) (a).
- Pressing FSP-made particles into a split resulted in smaller pores (10 to 30 nm) than for the untreated powder (20 to 110 nm). During the split preparation, particles were packed closely to each other thereby reducing the average pore size.
- the wet-phase made V 2 CVTiO 2 exhibited pore sizes ranging from 20 to 160 nm lying in the range of the wet-phase made particle size, therefore representing the interparticle voids.
- An open pore o structure is favored for this reaction that is inner mass transfer limited.
- FSP-made vanadia/titania ( ⁇ 600°C) had a monolayer (ML) coverage below 3 (Table 1), and showed therefore only one distinct reduction peak [27].
- Particles 5 sintered at 65O 0 C had a ML coverage of 23, resulting in a distinct peak around 650 0 C and the onset of a second peak ranging from 700 to 800 0 C.
- m contrast the wet-phase reference with ML coverage of over 4 has two distinct peaks at 525°C and 843 0 C as was expected [27].
- T max ⁇ 540 0 C rather polymeric
- T max > 580 0 C monomeric vanadia o species
- the vanadia species was stable on the titania up to 450 0 C sinter temperature. o
- the SSA retained constant up to 45O 0 C.
- Increasing the sinter temperature from 450 up to 900°C resulted in a steep decrease of the SSA from 83 m 2 g "1 to 0.5 m 2 g "1 .
- the dramatic decrease in the SSA corresponds to transformation of titania crystal structures and restructuring of vanadia species. Vanadia, being liquid above 670 0 C 3 may have acted as flow agent during titania sintering. 5
- the wet-phase made shows only crystalline vanadia bands (708 cm “1 and 994 cm “1 ) [34, 35].
- FIG. 7 shows images of an uncoated (a) and two coated foams (b,c). Arrows indicate the gas-flow direction during deposition.
- Figure 7 b shows a foam that was coated with a constant pressure drop over the foam and the filter of 80 mbar.
- the V 2 O 5 ZTiO 2 particles are almost evenly distributed on the foam surface. At these production conditions, the gas-flow through the foam is very slow so that particles deposited mainly by diffusion and thermophoretic sampling. This type of coating will be referred to as "high" dispersion 5 later on.
- Figure 7 c shows a foam where particles were deposited at a constant throttle position (50%) resulting in a pressure drop of 200 to 300 mbar over the filter and foam. Deposition in this case is caused mainly by impaction resulting from the high gas-flow velocities. The vanadiaZtitania is dominantly deposited on support surfaces o facing against the particle laden gas flow, resulting in a patchy coating, to which will be referred later on as "low" dispersion.
- Coating thickness for this deposition condition is in the micrometer range, as demonstrated in the SEM images ( Figure 8) of the cross-section of the coated foam.
- the deposited V 2 CVTiO 2 was 50 mg resulting in a layer thickness of 150 to 200 ⁇ m. Particle layer is not uniform and rough, a highly porous layer is observed.
- Recently direct deposited, FSP-made nano particles on flat surfaces resulted porosities of the deposited layer around 98% [3]. Comparable particle sizes and production conditions during the vanadia/titania production may lead to similar porosities.
- Coated foams showed higher activity than splits made out of flame-made V 2 CVTiO 2 or wet-phase made V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 .
- flame-made V 2 (VTiO 2 provides more external surface area than the wet-phase made V 2 O 5 ZTiO 2 .
- the high SSA and the monomelic vanadia species on titania result in higher catalytic activity compared to the wet-phase made catalyst.
- the FSP-made split showed slightly lower activity than the direct deposited foams.
- a slightly lower SSA (Table 1) and smaller pore sizes and longer diffusion ways inside the catalysts grain may have led to or even increased inner mass transfer limitations decreasing the activity of the catalyst compared to the coated foams.
- the low dispersion coating showed higher activity compared to the high dispersion coated foam. Differences between the "low” and “high” dispersion catalysts with high SSA may result from non iso-thermal conditions in the low dispersion coating.
- the low selectivity of the FSP-made split may be explained by the mass transfer limitations.
- O-xylene reacts to phthalic anhydride inside the small pores of the catalyst grain ( Figure 6) being trapped inside the grain resulting oxidation of PA. Therefore large amounts of CO and CO 2 were produced..
- the coated foams no indications of inner mass transfer limitations were observed, resulting in a increasing selectivity with increasing o-xylene conversion until the selectivity collapses at conversions > 99 %.
- Cs-doped active component was produced under the same conditions as were the high SSA (93 m 2 g "1 ) sample.
- Production rate was 17 g(V 2 0 5 /Cs 2 0 /TiO 2 ) h "1 , nominal vanadia content 10 wt.%, pressure drop behind filter was adjusted to 80 mbar.
- Anatase content was > 94 wt.%. No evidence of Cs 2 O crystals were found.
- TPR showed higher T max (503 0 C) compared to the not doped V 2 O 5 /TiO 2 (Table 4).
- TEM analysis showed mainly spherical particles. Absence of any particle in o micrometer range corroborates a monomodal particle distribution. Rings in the electron diffraction indicate clearly a crystalline structure.
- the appendix provides additional information on calculations and results obtained in the experiments.
