Zusammenfassung:A fluid-sparged helical channel reactor can include a constrained flow unit located within a reactor body. The unit has an inner wall and an outer wall which produces a helical constrained flow along a substantially enclosed helical flow path around an axial interior volume. At least part of the outer wall includes a sparging portion to allow fluid reactant to be sparged into the helical constrained flow. A liquid inlet fluidly connected to the reactor body and configured to allow addition of a liquid into the enclosed helical flow path. A sparging fluid inlet is fluidly connected to the reactor body which supplies a sparging fluid to the sparging portion of the constrained-flow unit. A liquid outlet fluidly is connected to the reactor body to allow removal of liquid from the constrained-flow unit. A gas outlet is fluidly associated with the enclosed helical flow path to allow removal of gases from the enclosed helical flow path.
