In the iron-molybdenum method for methanol oxidation, what range should the feed space velocity in the reactor be kept at?

What is the feed space velocity in the oxidation reactor for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde using an iron-molybdenum catalyst? Is it calculated based on the volume of the pure catalyst?
It is the volume of gas divided by the volume of the catalyst; it cannot be called the space velocity into the reactor. That should be the flow rate. It is actually the space velocity of the catalyst, which should be kept between 1000 and 3000
Thank you. Does the catalyst you mentioned include the magnetic rings that are mixed with the catalyst (not the pure magnetic rings in the upper and lower layers)?

Because this air velocity is a property of the catalyst; of course, other factors are not included
How is the volume of the catalyst determined? Isn’t the catalyst a ceramic ring? There is a gap in the middle, so is this volume the volume of the reaction tube or the actual volume of the catalyst?
It’s your loading volume, the internal volume of the reactor
