Abstract

A catalytic reactor in which liquid media can be continuously introduced, evaporated and fed to catalytic reactions, wherein the reactor space is formed by a tubular reactor casing which is open at one end and can be closed by a reactor lid having a through-opening. A pipe acting as evaporator stage is arranged so as to extend from the region of the through-opening until deep in the reactor space and is provided with a baffle and a baffle holder at the end extending into the reactor space. The rest of the reactor space is filled at least partially with catalyst and forms a catalysis stage. The pipe, baffle and baffle holder are made of ceramic material and the pipe and baffle holder are constructed as a single piece.
