Abstract:
1. A method for carrying out a heterogeneously-catalyzed reaction, the method comprising: introducing a mixture of reactants into a reactor comprising at least one contact surface made from, coated with, or impregnated by a catalyst, wherein the contact surface comprises a sintered metal or ceramic and wherein the reactor comprises at least two generators, wherein each generator comprises a rotor and a complementarily-shaped stator, and wherein at least a portion of at least one rotor of the at least two generators comprises a porous catalyst contact portion, and wherein the at least one rotor that includes the porous catalyst contact portion is configured such that substantially all of the reactants are forced through the porous catalyst contact portion during operation; and forming a dispersion of the reactants within the reactor by subjecting the reactants to a shear rate of at least 20,000 s
