Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing alkanesulphonic acid by oxidizing an alkyl mercaptan, a dialkyl disulphide and/or a dialkyl polysulphide having three to nine sulphur atoms with an oxidizing agent, wherein additional oxidizing agentis fed into the oxidation if as yet unoxidized alkyl mercaptan and/or unoxidized dialkyl disulphide and/or at least one intermediate from the oxidation of the dialkyl disulphide and/or of the dialkyl polysulphide is present in the reaction output, and a corresponding apparatus for performance of oxidation reactions.

Claim (Index 12):
The process according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein the oxidizing in a first reactor is conducted with free oxygen and if more than two reactors arranged in series are present, oxygen in bound form is optionally fed into a second reactor and each reactor thereafter.
