Abstract
A gas phase catalytic reactor comprising a metal vessel defining a confinement volume in which electromagnetic waves are generated at a frequency greater than 10 MHz. The confinement volume contains a porous catalyst which is heated by the electromagnetic waves and which has a flow of reactive gas passing therethrough. In order to guarantee that the gas reacts only when in contact with the catalyst, a heat exchanger is used to cool the gas suddenly as it leaves the confinement volume.
