Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a process for preparing alkali metal alcoholates in counter flow by way of reactive rectification, the alkali metal being selected from sodium and potassium. The process is carried out in at least one reaction column and at least one rectification column. The process according to the invention is characterized in that the heating steam used for operating the columns and thus for carrying out the process condenses, and that the energy is used in the condensed water.
