Abstract

In a process for producing C1-C10 aldehydes by oxidative dehydrogenation of C1-C10 alcohols over a shaped catalyst body obtainable by three-dimensional shaping and/or arranging in space of silver-containing fibers and/or threads, the average diameter or the average diagonal length of an essentially rectangular or square cross section of these silver-containing fibers and/or threads is in the range from 30 μm to 200 μm.
