FIELD: process engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heterogeneous catalytic synthesis of chemical compounds in reactors. Proposed reactor comprises enclosure closed on opposite sides by appropriate bottoms, synthesis-gas inlet holes, reaction product outlet hole, catalyst layer and system of walls for catalyst layer. Note here that said system of walls comprises panel wall and distribution wall. Note here that panel wall stays in direction contact with catalyst layer, envelopes it and has several gas proof and gas-permeable sections. Gas-permeable sections are provided with multiple slots sized to allow unobstructed flow of synthesis gas and inhibit flow of catalyst. Gas proof sections make a mechanical support for catalyst layer. Distribution wall has gas-permeable sections arranged to produced separation space between them.
EFFECT: simple and cheap design, good mechanical strength and anti-nitration properties.
