The present invention provides a method for allowing a used inert material that has been subjected to a reaction once, which is disposed of in the background art, to be used again as well as a brand-new one. A method of recovering an inert material of the present invention is characterized by in the fixed-bed reactor, the inert material is loaded in an inert material layer provided between a first-stage catalyst layer and a second-stage catalyst layer, the first-stage catalyst layer is loaded with a first-stage catalyst for producing acrolein from propylene, and the second-stage catalyst layer is loaded with a second-stage catalyst for producing acrylic acid from acrolein, the method comprising the steps of: extracting the inert material from the fixed-bed reactor; washing the extracted inert material; and screening the washed inert material.

Method for recovering inert material and method for producing acrylic acid using inert material recovered by said method

An &#x3b1;-(unsaturated alkoxyalkyl)acrylate composition is provided which enables an &#x3b1;-(unsaturated alkoxyalkyl)acrylate product to be stored at a high purity for an extended period of time and can fully suppress problems such as discoloration and gelation from arising during polymerization, and a method of safely preparing &#x3b1;-(unsaturated alkoxyalkyl)acrylate compositions industrially, with high purity. The composition includes an &#x3b1;-(unsaturated alkoxyalkyl)acrylate of a specific structure and an antioxidant, the content of the antioxidant being from 0.03 to 0.5 wt % per 100 wt % of the &#x3b1;-(unsaturated alkoxyalkyl)acrylate.
