PROCESS FOR CARRYING OUT CATALYTIC MULTIPHASE REACTIONS, IN PARTICULAR VINYLATIONS OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS.

摘要

THE INVENTION CONCERNS A PROCESS FOR CARRYING OUT MULTI-PHASE REACTIONS VIA A CATALYST INSIDE A TUBULAR REACTOR, WHEREBY THE CATALYST IS CONTAINED IN THE CONTINUOUS PHASE AND AT LEAST ONE EDUCT IS CONTAINED IN A DISPERSED PHASE AND WHEREBY THE STRESS FACTOR B OF THE TUBULAR REACTOR IS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.8.THE PROCESS IS PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF VINYL ESTER VIA THE REACTION OF CARBONIC ACIDS WITH ACETYLS.THE VINYL ESTERS ARE USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF HOMO-POLYMERIZED PRODUCTS.(FIG 1)
