Abstract
A method of continuously manufacturing an organometallic compound is provided where two or more reactants are conveyed to a contacting zone of a reactor in a manner so as to maintain a laminar flow of the reactants; and causing the reactants to form the organometallic compound.
Claims11
A continuous method of preparing an organometallic compound comprising:
- (a) providing an apparatus comprising a reactor unit, the reactor unit comprising a contacting zone and a heat transfer zone;
- (b) continuously delivering a first reactant stream and a second reactant stream to the contacting zone to form a reaction mixture stream, wherein the first reactant stream and the second reactant stream are cocurrent and have substantially laminar flows, and wherein the first reactant is a metal-containing compound;
- (c) causing the reaction mixture stream to form an organometallic compound product stream;
- (d) controlling the temperature and pressure of the product stream in the heat transfer zone so as to maintain a majority of the organometallic compound in a liquid phase;
- and
- (e) conveying the product stream to a separation unit to isolate the organometallic compound.
3 more elements
An apparatus for continuously manufacturing an organometallic compound comprising (a) a source of a first reactant stream wherein the first reactant comprises a metal;
- (b) a source of a second reactant stream;
- (c) a laminar flow contacting zone for cocurrently contacting the first reactant stream and the second reactant stream;
- and (d) a heat transfer zone.
