Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
202 words
An organic compound oxidation plant, comprising: a vessel for organic compounds; a vessel for a liquid-phase oxidizer; a mixer communicating with the vessel for the organic compounds and with the vessel for the liquid-phase oxidizer, which forms an oxidizer premix. a furnace for heating the organic compound, communicating with said vessel for organic compounds; a reactor having spray means communicating with said furnace for introducing the organic compounds therein, and dispersing means communicating with the mixer for introducing the oxidizer premix therein, to thereby form a reaction mass, and wherein said spray means and said dispersing means are arranged opposite each other and adapted so that their respective flows intimately contact each other; a reducing means communicating with said reactor, to receive the reaction mass; a froth breaker having an upper enlarged portion and a lower narrower portion, the froth breaker communicating with said furnace, with means for receiving the organic compounds therein; said froth breaker also communicating with said organic compound vessel, having additional means for receiving the organic compounds therein; said froth breaker also communicating with said reducing unit, with means for receiving the reaction mass therein; a degassing unit communicating with said froth breaker to receive the reaction mass.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

An organic compound oxidation plant, comprising: a vessel for organic compounds; a vessel for a liquid-phase oxidizer; a mixer communicating with the vessel for the organic compounds and with the vessel for the liquid-phase oxidizer, which forms an oxidizer premix. a furnace for heating the organic compound, communicating with said vessel for organic compounds; a reactor having spray means communicating with said furnace for introducing the organic compounds therein, and dispersing means communicating with the mixer for introducing the oxidizer premix therein, to thereby form a reaction mass, and wherein said spray means and said dispersing means are arranged opposite each other and adapted so that their respective flows intimately contact each other; a reducing means communicating with said reactor, to receive the reaction mass; a froth breaker having an upper enlarged portion and a lower narrower portion, the froth breaker communicating with said furnace, with means for receiving the organic compounds therein; said froth breaker also communicating with said organic compound vessel, having additional means for receiving the organic compounds therein; said froth breaker also communicating with said reducing unit, with means for receiving the reaction mass therein; a degassing unit communicating with said froth breaker to receive the reaction mass.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
The plant according to claim 1, wherein said reactor has an upper cylindrical portion accommodating said spray means and said dispersing means, and a lower conical portion housing a second spray means with injection nozzles installed at an angle to the horizontal plane of the reactor adapted to introduce the organic compounds against the conical surface of said reactor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The plant according to claim 2, wherein said injection nozzles have means to ensure the directional movement of the organic compounds toward said second spray means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The plant according to claim 2, wherein said injection nozzels have openings for the introduction of organic compounds, and guide means arranged above said openings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The plant according to claim 3, wherein said directional movement means are screens.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The plant according to claim 1, wherein the dispersing means of the reactor are provided with control means to regulate the admission of oxidizer premix in the dispersing means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The plant according to claim 1, wherein the froth breaker's upper enlarged portion accommodates a hollow shaft with means for introducing organic compounds therein.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
The plant according to claim 7, wherein said introducing means comprise nozzles and said froth breaker also includes coiled plates with blades attached thereto.
