Original Abstract Submitted
A bubble column reactor includes a reaction zone in which a reaction of a gaseous reactant is carried out in a liquid reaction medium, a first disengaging section provided above the reaction zone and into which a first effluent stream rising from the reaction zone is introduced, and a condensation zone provided above the first disengaging section. The bubble column reactor's condensation zone diameter is smaller than the diameter of the first disengaging section.
