| abstract |
The invention relates to a column for carrying out reactive distillations in the presence of a heterogeneous particulate catalyst, with a packing or filling bodies, which form cavities in the column interior. The quotient for the hydraulic diameter for the gas stream through the packing or filling bodies and the equivalent diameter of the catalyst particles lies in the range of 2 to 20, preferably in the range of 5 to 10, whereby the catalyst particles are introduced loose into the cavities, distributed and removed under the influence of gravity. |
