WEIR QUENCH AND PROCESSES INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a weir quench, an apparatus comprising a reactor and the weir quench and processes incorporating the same. The weir quench incorporates an inlet having an inner diameter (Di) and an upper chamber having an inner diameter (Duc), wherein the inlet inner diameter (Di) is at least 90% of the upper chamber inner diameter (Duc). The apparatus comprises a reactor having an outlet with an inner diameter fluidly coupled with the weir quench inlet, wherein the ratio of the reactor outlet inner diameter (Dr) to the weir quench inlet diameter (Di) is greater than one. The weir quench, and apparatus comprising a reactor and the weir no quench, are advantageously utilized in processes utilizing a limiting reagent.
