Abstract
In a process in which a gas comprising oxygen is bubbled through a liquid reaction medium contained in a reaction vessel, with a flammable or potentially flammable vapor being contained in the ullage space of the vessel with a resultant explosion hazard, the explosion hazard is minimized by continuously spraying a liquid comprising predominantly at least one component of the reaction medium into the ullage space so as to maintain a suspension of liquid droplets throughout the ullage space.
