Abstract:
Provided herein are reactor systems and processes for producing organic acids directly from beta-lactones. Such reactor systems and processes involve the use of a heterogeneous catalyst, such as a zeolite at vapor phase conditions. The reactor systems and processes may use a fixed bed, moving bed or fluidized contacting zone as reactor configurations.

Claim (Index 19):
A reactor system for producing at least one organic acid product directly from at least one beta-lactone reagent, wherein the at least one beta-lactone reagent is represented by the following formula: wherein R 1  and R 2  are independently selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and cycloalkynyl,\n wherein both of R 1  and R 2  are not H at the same time, \n wherein the reactor system comprises: at least one reaction vessel configured as a continuous fixed-bed reactor or a fluidized bed reactor defining at least one feed stream inlet and at least one product stream outlet; said at least one reaction vessel further defining an interior volume for receiving the at least one beta-lactone reagent from said at least one feed stream inlet and a retaining volume adapted for retaining the at least one beta-lactone reagent in solid, liquid, and gaseous phases.
