Method for Start-Up of Oxidation Catalysts

摘要

Methods comprising: providing an oxidation catalyst bed; and starting up the oxidation catalyst at a temperature of 360° C. to 400° C. with an amount of air of 1.0 to 3.5 standard m3/h and a hydrocarbon loading of 20 to 65 g/standard m3, such that a hot spot having a temperature of 390° C. to <450° C. is formed in the first 7-20% of the catalyst bed.
