PROCESS FOR CARRYING OFF THE REACTION HEAT FROM EXOTHERMAL CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT THE PROCESS

摘要

1. A method of removing the heat of reaction from continuous exothermic chemical reactions conducted in the liquid phase, which method comprises introducing a fluid which is inert to the reactants and in which reactants and reaction products are preferably insoluble or almost insoluble, and which is immiscible with the reaction medium or with parts thereof, into a reactor containing the reaction medium and wherein a homogeneous mixing is effected, separating the emulsion thereby obtained into the phase containing the reaction products and that consisting of the heated inert fluid, cooling said inert fluid and recycling it to the reactor, such that the inert fluid is able to pass through this circuit as often as desired.
