Proposed is a continuous process for performing a reaction, in which a liquid phase II and/or one or more solid phases are formed from a charge stream (1) comprising a continuous liquid phase I, the densities of said phase I and solid phases being greater than the density of the continuous liquid phase I of the charge stream (1). The invention is characterized in that: the process is performed in a hydrocyclone (R), to which the use stream (1) comprising the continuous liquid phase I is fed tangentially; the reaction takes place in the hydrocyclone (R) to obtain a reaction mixture comprising the continuous liquid phase II which forms in the reaction and the reaction mixture is separated in the hydrocyclone (R) under the action of centrifugal force, in such a way that a product stream comprising a substream or the entire stream of the continuous liquid phase II and all phases whose density is less than the density of the continuous liquid phase II is drawn off radially at the upper end of the hydrocyclone (R), and a stream which comprises all solid phases having a density greater than the density of the continuous liquid phase II and any substream of the continuous liquid phase II not drawn off via the product stream is drawn off at the lower end of the hydrocyclone (R).
