Method For Carrying Out A Chemical Reaction And Reactor Arrangement

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for carrying out a chemical reaction using a reactor arrangement (100-400) in which reaction tubes (2) arranged in a reactor vessel (1) are provided to which one or more reactants are supplied in a first mass flow during one or more first modes of operation and are not supplied or are supplied in a second mass flow during one or more second modes of operation, at least on a time average lower mass flow, radiant heat is supplied by means of one or more electric heating elements (3) in the reactor vessel (1) during the one or more first operating modes in a first heat flow and is not supplied during the one or more second operating modes or is supplied in a second heat flow which is lower at least on a time average. It is provided that in at least a part of the reactor vessel (1) in which the one or more heating elements (3) are provided, a gas atmosphere is provided in which a content of oxygen is adjusted in a predetermined volume fraction, wherein during the one or more first operating modes the volume fraction of oxygen is adjusted between a first limit value of no less than 500 ppm and a second limit value of no more than 10%, and during the one or more second modes of operation, the volume fraction of oxygen is adjusted to a higher value, at least on a time average, than during the one or more first modes of operation. A corresponding reactor arrangement (100-400) is also an object of the present invention.
