    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the distillative processing of the crude products 1,6-hexandiols (HDO), 1,5-pentandiol (PDO) or caprolactone (CLO) obtained according to the method of German patent application DE-A 196 07 954 in order to obtain the corresponding pure products. The distillative processing proceeds in a separation column (TK) in which a separating wall (T) is arranged in the column longitudinal direction forming an upper common column section (1), a lower common column section (6), a feed part (2, 4) with reinforcement part (2) and drive part (4), and a removal part (3, 5) with output part (3) and reinforcement part (5). The corresponding crude product HDO, PDO or CLO is fed in the center section of the feed part (2, 4), the high-boiling fraction (C) is removed from the column sump, the low-boiling fraction (A) is removed via the column head and the medium-boiling fraction (B) is removed from the center section of the removal part (3, 5). The inventive method can also be carried out in thermally coupled columns.

    Abstract: The apparatus for carrying out reactions in the gaseous, liquid and solid phases comprises a liquid stream-gas compressor for producing a reaction fluid, a reactor charged with metal braiding coated with catalyst, and a feed line. The apparatus for carrying out reactions in the gaseous, liquid and solid phases comprises a liquid stream-gas compressor (6) for producing a reaction fluid by dispersing a gas phase in a liquid phase; a reactor (1) having an inlet and an outlet and a reaction chamber limited by heat-deviating walls, the reactor being charged with a metal braiding coated with catalyst; and a line (7) feeding the reaction fluid from the compressor to the reactor inlet and is short so that the degree of dispersibility of the fluid does not change during the passage through the line. An Independent claim is also included for a process for carrying out reactions in the gaseous, liquid and solid phases comprising producing a reaction fluid by dispersion of a gaseous phase in a liquid phase; feeding the reaction fluid produced through the reactor; exchanging reaction heat on the walls of the reactor chamber; and separating the reaction fluid into a gas phase and a liquid phase.
