An apparatus to allow reaction in the liquid phase. The apparatus is a vessel having a baffle. There are openings in the baffle through each of which a liquid passes as a jet. Neighboring openings are sufficiently close to allow impingement of the jets thereby allowing for reaction of the liquids. The invention finds application in reactions where the reactants are immiscible and is particularly suitable in the nitration of aromatic hydrocarbons using mixed acids in aqueous solution. A method of conducting a reaction between at least two reactants in the liquid phase is also provided comprising passing a liquid containing the reactants through a plurality of adjacent spaced openings to create a series of impinging jets.

Apparatus to allow reactions in the liquid phase and comprising: a vessel having a longitudinal axis; a baffle in the vessel comprising a plurality of spheres of different diameters, arranged one within the other, each sphere being formed with a plurality of first openings defining inlets and a plurality of second openings defining outlets, each first and second opening allowing liquid to pass therethrough as a jet and neighboring openings being spaced apart so as to allow impingement of the jets.
