Abstract:
1. An apparatus for continuously performing a chemical reaction, comprising a microwave generator, a monomode microwave applicator with a microwave-transparent tube within, and an isothermal reaction zone, which are arranged such that the longitudinal axis of the microwave-transparent tube is in the direction of propagation of the microwaves in the monomode microwave applicator, and that a reaction mixture in the microwave-transparent tube is conducted through the monomode microwave applicator as a heating zone, within which the reaction mixture is heated to reaction temperature by means of microwaves which are conducted out of the microwave generator into the monomode microwave applicator, and wherein the heated and the optionally pressurized, reaction mixture is transferred immediately after leaving the heating zone into the isothermal reaction zone adjoining the heating zone and, after leaving the isothermal reaction zone, the reaction mixture is cooled down.
