Rotating surface of revolution reactor with feed and collection mechanisms

摘要

A reactor including a rotatable disc ( 3 ) having a region ( 13 ) in an upper surface ( 5 ) thereof. Reactant ( 15 ) is supplied to the region ( 13 ) by way of a feed ( 4 ), the disc ( 3 ) is rotated at high speed, and the reactant ( 15 ) moves from the region ( 13 ) so as to form a film ( 17 ) on the surface ( 5 ). As the reactant ( 15 ) traverses the surface ( 5 ) of the disc ( 3 ), it undergoes chemical or physical processes before being thrown from the periphery of the disc ( 3 ) into collector means ( 7 ).
