PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reactor which is capable of reducing the thickness of a substrate to form a reaction vessel while maintaining the strength of the reaction vessel in the structure to form the reaction vessel.SOLUTION: The reactor 600 is provided with the reaction vessel to cause the reaction of reactants. The partition plate 220 has a corrugated configuration which is the triangular winding fold. That is, the partition plate 220 is prepared by alternately folding back a strip and the connection place between a first partition part 222 of the partition plate 220 and a second partition part 224 constitutes a ridgeline that is folded back. The partition plate 220 is stored in a space between the floor board 250 and the top board 512 so that the wave height direction becomes parallel to the side plates 513-516. One folded ridgeline of the partition plate 220 is brought into line-contact with the top board 512 of the box 511 and bonded by welding or brazing. The partition plate 240 has the same structure.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reaction apparatus in which the utilizing efficiency of heat can be increased. SOLUTION: A carbon monoxide removing instrument 115, a vaporizer 111 and a second burner 123 are formed by layering the members 1-30. The vaporizer 111 is inserted into the carbon monoxide removing instrument 115 from below the carbon monoxide removing instrument 115. The second burner 123 is placed around the upper end of the vaporizer 111 in the carbon monoxide removing instrument 115. A heating element 161 is placed on the second burner 123 in the carbon monoxide removing instrument 115. Since these instruments are arranged like this, the heat to be generated by the second burner 123 and the heat to be generated by the carbon monoxide removing instrument 115 can be balanced well with the heat to be used for vaporization in the vaporizer 111.
