Process for conducting chemical reactions involving corrosive materials

Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR CONDUCTING A CHEMICAL REACTION INVOLVING CONTACTING A FLUID HIGHLY CORROSIVE TO FERROUS METALS WITH A FLUID RELATIVELY NON-CORROSIVE TO FERROUS METALS AT HIGH PRESSURE, WHICH COMPRISES MAINTAINING A REACTION ZONE BOUNDED BY A CERAMIC IMPERFORATE WALL IN FREE FLUID COMMUNICATION WITH A HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SPACE BOUNDED INTERNALLY BY THE AFOREMENTIONED WALL AND EXTERNALLY BY A PRESSURE-RESISTANT WALL OF LOWER CORROSION RESISTANCE, CONTINUOUSLY PASSING THE NON-CORROSIVE FLUID AT AN ELEVATED PRESSURE INTO THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SPACE AND THROUGH THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SPACE INTO THE REACTION ZONE, CONTINUOUSLY PASSING THE CORROSIVE FLUID AT AN ELEVATED PRESSURE FROM A POINT OUTSIDE THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE ZONE-DIRECTLY INTO THE REACTION ZONE AND CONTINUOUSLY REMOVING THE REACTION PRODUCT MIXTURE DIRECTLY FROM THE REACTION ZONE TO A POINT OUTSIDE THE HYDRAULC PRESSURE ZONE.
