METHYL FORMATE SYNTHESIS REACTOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: proceeding reactions in gas-liquid systems at high pressures. SUBSTANCE: reactor has tubular housing with transversal partition in its lower portion; this partition has hole through which gas and liquid are introduced into mixing chamber located under above-mentioned partition. Pipe of mixing chamber is blanked off at the top and is perforated in its upper portion over perimeter. Perforations are made in form of radial bores or circular slots; diameter of bores or width of slots increases upward along height of pipe. Mixture circulates similarly as in diffuserless ejector. Several circulating devices may be arranged one above another in one housing to increase time of presence of mixture in reactor at high space velocity. EFFECT: simplified construction; increased productivity. 7 cl, 6 dwg, 1 ex
