Reacting a liq. reactant such as hydrogen peroxide

摘要

Continuous process for obtaining a gaseous prod. (12) by reaction of a liquid reactant, is claimed in which the reactant liquid is introduced continuously into a reactor to obtain a gaseous prod. and a liquid prod., whereby the positive difference between the entry pressure into the reactor (4) and the exit pressure from the reactor is held constant. This pressure difference is held at 0.0001-0.01 MPa. The reactor pref. contains solid catalyst particles. - The process is utilised to obtain O2 by catalytic decompsn. of hydrogen peroxide by introducing an aq. soln. of H2O2 into the reactor contg. the catalyst particles, and cooling the mixt. of O2 and steam obtd. to condense the water using a condenser.
