Abstract
Acrylic acid is prepared from propene by means of gas-phase oxidation by a process in which a starting gas mixture which contains propene and steam and whose molar propene/steam ratio is ≧1 and whose propane content is ≦5% is passed at elevated temperatures through a fixed catalyst bed comprising successive catalyst part-beds A and B, the part-bed A passed through first containing, as active material, a mixed oxide containing the elements Mo, Bi and Fe and the part-bed B containing, as active material, a mixed oxide containing the elements Mo and V, in a manner such that at least 96.5 mol % of propene are converted in a single pass through part-bed A.
