Reactor used e.g. for carrying out exothermic reactions comprises a reactor element having a channel structure with channels provided with a reaction material which reacts with a medium passing through

摘要

Reactor comprises a reactor element (15) consisting of a functional unit (20) having a channel structure with channels (21) having a channel inlet (22) and a channel outlet (23). A reaction material (R) is provided in the channels which reacts with a medium (D) passing through. The reaction material is provided in the channels in such a way that the channels have regions (40-42) with different reactivity of reaction material over the longitudinal extension of the channels. Preferred Features: More than one reaction material is provided in the channels. The channel regions are partially made from the different reaction materials. The reaction materials have a concentration profile within the channels over its longitudinal extension. The reaction material is a catalytic material. The reactor element has a second functional unit (30) having a channel structure with channels (31) having a channel inlet (32) and a channel outlet (33).
