Abstract
The invention relates to a process for carrying out gas-liquid reactions in a continuous flow reactor having several reactor chambers arranged parallel to one another, open in the direction of flow. The space-time yield can be increased in that a reactor is used with at least three chambers, the ratio of chamber width b to slit width s of which is, on average, greater than 3 and the slit width s of which is in the range of 5 to 100 mm. Preferably, s is in the range of 5 to 50 mm and s/b in the range of 5 to 100. The continuous flow reactor according to the invention with the at least three reactor chambers and the above ratio s/b is preferably tubular and contains one or more plate stacks.
