Today the only industrial scale method of production for acrolein is by gaseous phase oxidation of propylene with air oxygen. Since the discovery of Bi‐Mo‐mixed oxides as oxidation catalysts this reaction can be performed with high selectivity and high conversionrates. A kinetic model is introduced to assist in mathematically describing the stationary concentration/time‐dependencies.
