DISPOSITIF DE DISTILLATION-REACTION ET SON UTILISATION NOTAMMENT POUR LA SYNTHESE D'ETHER.

摘要

Reaction-distillation apparatus comprising: at least one reaction-distillation zone (G or H) including, on a perforated support (5) allowing fluids to pass through, at least one element of type J (container (3b) containing catalytic solid particles (2)), and at least one element of type K (packing body (4) of type K1 and/or a container (3a) or (3c) not containing any catalytic solid particles of type K2); the said elements having sufficient mechanical characteristics to withstand the load of the whole and the perforations of the said support retaining the said elements. Use of this apparatus for carrying out chemical reactions and the fractionation of the reaction mixture; for example for the synthesis of ethers from olefins and alcohols.
