<p>A loop reactor for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, such as propylene, has at least one reaction tube (18) immersed in a thermal transfer medium (42). The thermal transfer medium (42) is preferably a pressurized liquid (51) such as water (51). The pressure appplied to the liquid (51) is varied so that the liquid (51) boils at the temperature desired for the oxidation reaction.</p> |
