The invention relates to a method for carrying out a chemical reaction for producing a target compound by heating in a reactor a reaction medium containing at least one first reactant, such that a chemical bond inside the first reactant or between the first and a second reactant is formed or modified. The reaction medium is brought into contact with a solid heating medium that can be warmed by electromagnetic induction and that is inside the reactor and is surrounded by the reaction medium. Said heating medium is heated by electromagnetic induction with the aid of an inductor and the target bond is formed from the first reactant or from the first and a second reactant and said target bond is separated from the heating medium.

Method for carrying out chemical reactions with the aid of an inductively heated heating medium

The invention relates to a method for carrying out an oxidation reaction for producing a product by heating a reaction medium containing a reactant and oxygen or an oxygen carrier in a reactor, wherein the reaction medium is brought into contact with a solid heating medium which may be heated by electromagnetic induction, which is surrounded by the reaction medium. The heating medium is heated by electromagnetic induction using an inductor, wherein an oxidation reaction is carried out on the first reactant to give a product and the product is separated from the heating medium. The inductor preferably generates an alternating field with a frequency in the range 1 to 100 kHz, preferably in the range 10 to 80 kHz and in particular up to 50 kHz.
