Use of a device or devices, such as a convergent divergent funnel mixer, to optimize the available reaction volume, the raw material feed ratios and the weight hourly space velocity in a tube reactor

摘要

A method of using an apparatus, device or devices, such as a convergent divergent funnel, as a mixer for the feed material, to optimize the available reaction volume (ARV), the raw material feed ratios (R1:R2) and the weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), to produce organic compounds, in a tube reactor. These organic compounds include, but are not limited to: acids, aldehydes, amides, esters, ethers and ketones, which are useful as chemical, agricultural and pharmaceutical intermediates, pharmaceuticals, agricultural agents, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, insect repellents, animal repellents, plasticizers, dye carriers and as flavor and/or fragrance ingredients.
