Taylor reactor for materials conversion in the course of which a change in viscosity of the reaction medium occurs

摘要

A Taylor reactor for conducting material conversions, having an external reactor wall ( 1 ) located within which there is a concentrically or eccentrically disposed rotor ( 2 ), a reactor floor ( 3 ) and a reactor lid ( 4 ), which together define the annular reactor volume ( 5 ), at least one means ( 6 ) for metered addition of reactants, and a means ( 7 ) for the discharge of product, wherein during the conversion there is a change in the viscosity nu of the reaction medium and the reactor wall ( 1 ) and/or the rotor ( 2 ) are or is geometrically designed in such a way that the conditions for Taylor vortex flow are met over essentially the entire reactor length in the reactor volume ( 5 ).
