A process for long-term operation of a heterogeneously catalyzed partial gas phase oxidation of propene to acrolein, in which the propene present in the reaction gas input mixture is partially oxidized as this gas mixture passes through the fixed catalyst bed which is accommodated in two spatially successive temperature zones A, B, and, in long-term operation, as a measure to counteract the reduction in the quality of the fixed catalyst bed, the temperature of at least one of the two temperature zones is increased such that the difference TB-TA becomes increasingly greater, where TB is the temperature of temperature zone B, and TA the temperature of temperature zone A. |
