-15. (canceled)
A microstructure reactor for carrying out an exothermic reaction between two or more reactants, which are passed in the form of fluids over one or more catalysts, wherein the reactor comprises at least one stacking sequence of
- (a) at least one layer comprising one or more catalysts for carrying out at least one exothermic reaction,
- (b) at least one layer divided into two or more cooling fields,
- (c) at least one layer having distributor structures comprising
- lines for distribution of a coolant,
- connections for feeding the coolant to the lines of the distributor structure and for connection to the cooling fields,
- connections for discharging heated coolant from the cooling fields, and
- lines and connections for discharging heated coolant from the stacking sequence.
