Zusammenfassung:An elongated, generally vertically extending cocurrent reactor vessel for the production of hypohalogenated acid by the mixing and reaction of a liquid alkali metal hydroxide and a gaseous halogen is provided wherein an atomizer is mounted near the top of the reactor vessel to atomize the liquid alkali metal hydroxide into droplets in the vessel. The vessel has a spraying and reaction zone immediately beneath the atomizer and a drying zone beneath the spraying and reaction zone. The reactor according to the invention is particularly useful for the production of hypochlorous acid.
