The liquid feed enters the tower through the liquid inlet located at the lower side of the tower. • Gas-liquid distribution and contact: Gas enters the system through the gas inlet located at the very bottom of the tower. Subsequently, the gas passes through a gas distributor (2) located at the bottom of the liquid (shown in the diagram as a porous plate structure). The function of the distributor is to disperse the incoming gas into numerous small bubbles. These bubbles rise upward in the liquid due to buoyancy, promoting intense mixing and contact between the gas phase and the liquid phase, thereby enabling chemical reactions to take place. The gaseous product of the reaction, or the unreacted gas, is ultimately discharged from the gas outlet at the top of the tower. • Temperature control system: To control the reaction temperature, this reactor is equipped with an external heat exchanger (3) (shown in the diagram as a shell-and-tube heat exchanger). • The reaction liquid inside the tower is drawn out through pipes, flows cyclically within the tube bundle inside the heat exchanger, and then returns to the tower. • At the same time, a heat carrier (the orange fluid in the diagram) flows through the shell side of the heat exchanger (outside the tubes). The heat carrier enters from the heat carrier inlet at the top, exchanges heat (heating or cooling) with the reaction liquid inside the tube, and then exits from the heat carrier outlet at the bottom. Through this external circulation heat exchange method, the temperature conditions required for the reactions inside the tower can be effectively maintained.
