Provided is a method for easily and safely removing, from a reactor, a catalyst used in a reaction that is performed using hydrogen fluoride in the presence of the catalyst. In a reaction performed in a reactor containing at least hydrogen fluoride and a catalyst, the catalyst is removed through a process comprising a heating step of performing heat-treatment so that the ambient temperature of the reactor is 80° C. or more after completion of the reaction, and a purge step of flowing inert gas into the reactor to discharge the hydrogen fluoride to the outside of the reactor after completion of the reaction.

A novel method for catalytic dehydration of glycerol to acrolein is provided. A fixed bed reactor is used, which is placed in a microwave unit. The feedstock is introduced into the fixed bed reactor after being preheated and gasified. Continuous glycerol dehydration occurs in the presence of a microwave-absorbing catalyst in the fixed bed reactor to form acrolein. The microwave-absorbing catalyst is composed of an active component loaded on a core-shell structure which consists of microwave absorbent coated by an oxide. The uniformity of microwave heating can reduce the formation of hot spot during the reaction and hence improve the catalyst stability. The process and operation is simple, and the unit can steadily run for a long time.
