Abstract

The invention relates to a reactor for partial oxidation of a fluid reaction mixture in the presence of a heterogeneous particulate catalyst. Said reactor comprises one or several cuboid heat-transfer sheet modules (1) which are each composed of two or several right-angled heat-transfer sheets (2), arranged parallel to each other such as to form a slit (3) which can be filled with the heterogeneous particulate catalyst and through which the fluid reaction mixture flows, the heat of reaction being absorbed by a heat carrier which flows through the heat-transfer sheets (2) and at least partially evaporates.
Said reactor also comprises a mainly cylindrical envelope (4, 15, 16) which depressurizes the heat-transfer sheet modules and fully surrounds said modules, said envelope being composed of a cylinder casing (4) and of caps (15, 16), closing said casing at both ends, the longitudinal axis of which extends parallel to the plane of said heat-transfer sheets (2). Said reactor finally comprises one or several sealing elements (7, 23), arranged so that the fluid reaction mixture flows only through the slit (3), except through the reactor interior spaces, defined by the caps (15, 16).
