Abstract
Abstract A molded catalyst for reactions carried out under heterogeneous catalysis consists of a catalytically active material shaped into hollow cylinders, or of an inert carrier which is shaped into hollow cylinders and onto which catalytically active material is applied the external diameter of the hollow cylinders being from 3 to 20 mm, the internal diameter being from 0.1 to 0.7 times the external diameter and the length being from 0.2 times to twice the external diameter. The end faces of the hollow cylinder are curved so that the radius of curvature is from 0.4 to 5 times the external diameter. The novel catalysts are particularly useful for partial oxidation in the gas phase.
