A METHOD OF PRODUCING PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE WHICH COMPRISES PASSING A MIXTURE OF NAPHTHALENE VAPOR AND AN OXYGEN-CONTAINING GAS AT LINEAR VELOCITIES OF ABOUT 0.2-2 FEET PER SECOND THROUGH A BED OF FLUIDIZED CATALYST PARTICLES CONTAINING AS THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE CATALYST A MIXTURE OF V2O4 AND V2O5 AT A TEMPEATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 320*-420*C. AND A NAPHTHALENE-TOOXYGEN RATIO SUCH THAT UPON CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE RATIO OF V2O4 TO V2O5 IN THE CATALYST WOULD EXCEED 70:30 AND MAINTAINING SAID RATIO BETWEEN THE LIMITS OF 70:30 AND 20:80 BY CONTINUOUSLY WITHDRAWING CATALYST FROM SAID BED, CONTINUOUSLY PARTIALLY OXIDIZING IT TO A V2O4 TO V2O5 RATIO WITHIN SAID LIMITS AND RETURNING IT TO SAID CATALYST BED.
