Abstract

A feed gas feeding system for a propylene ammoxidation reactor comprises a feed gas mixing system and a feed distributor, wherein a propylene and ammonia mixed gas is mixed by the feed gas mixing system and then uniformly distributed in the propylene ammoxidation reactor by the feed distributor. The initial temperature T 0 when the propylene and ammonia mixed gas enters the feed distributor is 10-220° C. The feed gas feeding system can prevent the temperature of the gas mixture at any position in the feed distributor from reaching a temperature at which ammonia decomposes into active nitrogen atoms, thereby reducing a risk of brittle nitriding fractures of the feed distributor.
