Abstract

The present invention relates a process for uniformly mixing heterogeneous or multiphase systems comprising a continuous phase and at least a solid, dispersed phase in a pulsatile flow reactor (PUFR) as herein defined wherein the uniform mixing is carried out by actuating means for pulsing the continuous phase. The PUFR can be used in its horizontal or vertical orientation. The PUFR is useful for example to carry out the catalytic polymerization of olefins in a heterogeneous phase.
