First Claim
1. A method for a continuous preparation of organic peroxides comprising:
- providing a continuous flow reactor having;
at least one flow channel configured as a reaction zone;
an inlet system in fluid communication with a first end of the at least one flow channel and configured for introducing two or more substances or a combination of substances into the at least one flow channel;
an outlet system in fluid communication with a second end of the at least one flow channel, the second end being located downstream of the first end and the outlet system being configured for extracting reaction products present at the second end; and
an oscillatory system configured for superimposing an oscillatory flow on the flow of substances passing through the at least one flow channel, the oscillatory being effected in at least a section of the at least one flow channel;
(S1) introducing, according to a first time characteristic, at least two substances or a combination of substances into the at least one flow channel using the inlet system,(S2) superimposing by use of the oscillatory system an oscillatory flow on at least a part of the flow of substances passing through the at least one flow channel to create turbulences in the flow of substances, wherein the substances are reacted in the one flow channel to produce the organic peroxides,(S3) extracting, on an ongoing basis and by using the outlet system, the reaction products formed in the at least one flow channel from the substances introduced, the output mass flow rate corresponding to the sum of the input mass flow rates.
