FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a reactor for producing hydrogen cyanide using Andrussov's method, and a method of producing hydrogen cyanide, which is realised using the disclosed reactor. The reactor has a reservoir (2), at least one gas inlet (3) which has a gas inlet region (4), a reaction product output (5) and a catalyst (6), which is characterised by that inside the reservoir (2), between the gas inlet region (4) and the catalyst (6) there is at least one mixing element (7) and at least one gas-permeable intermediate layer (8), said mixing element (7) lying between the gas inlet region (4) and the gas-permeable intermediate layer (8).
EFFECT: very simple and cheap production of hydrogen cyanide, high output, efficiency and longer service life of the catalyst.
