Abstract:
1. A process for performing two chemically successive reactions in a loop reactor, comprising (reaction I) an optionally catalyzed equilibrium reaction of at least two high-boiling liquid reactants, in which essentially one high boiler is formed as an intermediate and at least one low boiler as a by-product, and (reaction II) a substantially diffusion-controlled reaction in which the liquid intermediate is reacted with at least one gaseous reactant to give the end product, wherein reactions (I) and (II), optionally after a start phase, are allowed to proceed simultaneously in the same loop reactor, and the loop reactor has a connectable gas-liquid circulation system coupled via an ejector mixing nozzle, in which circulated liquid phase is mixed in the ejector mixing nozzle with newly supplied gaseous reactant of reaction (II) (
