Abstract
A process for evaporating a liquid feed and reacting said feed in the presence of catalyst to make product within a reactor having both an evaporation zone and a reaction zone comprises the steps of providing packing in the evaporation zone, providing catalyst in the reaction zone, introducing the liquid feed to the evaporation zone through an injector having an orifice, where the orifice and the packing define a gap that is sufficiently small to interfere with the formation of a liquid drop at the orifice, vaporizing the liquid feed within the evaporation zone to form a vapor, flowing the vapor to the reaction zone and contacting, at reaction conditions, the vapor with a catalyst to form product.
