Abstract

The instant invention relates to a method for preparing paraffin-sulphonic acids by photochemical sulphoxidation of paraffinic hydrocarbons. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method. The invention relates more particlarly to a method for continuously preparing paraffin-sulphonic acids by photochemical sulphoxidation of paraffinic hydrocarbons comprising the steps of reacting a gaseous mixture of sulphurous acid anhydride and oxygen with a liquid paraffiaic phase and injecting at least a portion of said gaseous mixture into said liquid phase in the form of a finely divided dispersion in a recycling fraction of said paraffinic phase which carries said gaseous mixture.
