ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a reaction apparatus for organic and/or other substance(s) employing supercritical fluid(s) and/or subcritical fluid(s) permitting injection of organic substance(s) and/or other reactant substance(s) in homogeneous state(s) to reactor(s) without occurrence of clogging at location(s) of such injection, and also permitting actuation to occur in industrial fashion and at high energy efficiency. Reactor(s) (12) of this reaction apparatus comprise cylinder(s) (12a) and piston(s) (12b) provided at such cylinder(s) (12a). Actuation in periodic fashion is permitted by operating piston(s) (12b) to compress fluid vapor(s) and obtain supercritical fluid(s) and/or subcritical fluid(s); operating piston(s) (12b) in reverse direction(s) following conclusion of chemical reaction(s) of reactant substance(s), lowering temperature(s) and pressure(s) and stopping reaction(s); and removing, from cylinder(s) (12a), product(s) obtained while at the same time delivering new charge(s) of fluid vapor(s) to cylinder(s) (12a).
