Abstract:
1. A continuous method of preparing an organometallic compound comprising: (a) providing an apparatus comprising a reactor unit, the reactor unit comprising a contacting zone and a heat transfer zone; (b) continuously delivering a first reactant stream and a second reactant stream to the contacting zone to form a reaction mixture stream, wherein the first reactant stream and the second reactant stream are cocurrent and have substantially laminar flows, and wherein the first reactant is a metal-containing compound; (c) causing the reaction mixture stream to form an organometallic compound product stream; (d) controlling the temperature and pressure of the product stream in the heat transfer zone so as to maintain a majority of the organometallic compound in a liquid phase; and (e) conveying the product stream to a separation unit to isolate the organometallic compound.
