METHOD TO CARRY OUT STRONGLY EXOTHERMIC OXIDIZING REACTIONS IN PSEUDO-ISOTHERMAL CONDITIONS

摘要

Method and apparatus for carrying out highly exothermic catalyzed reactions, like so-called oxidative reactions, in pseudo-isothermal conditions, for example the reaction for producing nitric acid and the reaction for producin g formaldehyde. At least part of the continuous flow of reactants is fed at different points of the catalytic bed corresponding to different successive stages of the reaction.
