Reaction method by using heterogeneous catalyst and reaction apparatus therefor

Abstract

When carrying out a liquid-phase reaction by using a heterogeneous catalyst, the separation of the heterogeneous catalyst and the reaction liquid is carried out certainly and effectively. A reaction method involves carrying out a reaction in liquid phase by using a heterogeneous catalyst particle in a reactor , and comprises the steps of: (a) allowing a reaction liquid supplied into the reactor from such as a supplying inlet to react in the presence of the heterogeneous catalyst particle , and (b) passing the resultant reaction liquid containing the heterogeneous catalyst particle through a line screen having an opening width where the heterogeneous catalyst particle is not allowed to pass substantially, and then extracting the reaction liquid separated from the heterogeneous catalyst particle from the reactor by way of such as an extracting outlet
