    摘要: The present invention concerns a process for increasing the productivity of equilibrium-restricted reactions and for increasing the productivity of a target compound. This process comprises the steps of (a) providing a reaction mixture comprising reactants; (b) subjecting the reaction mixture to the equilibrium reaction in a reactor or sequence of reactors, to obtain a reactor outlet mixture comprising the target compound and at least one of the reactants; (c) regenerating the loaded sorbent obtained in step (e), by flushing the loaded sorbent with the reactor outlet mixture originating from step (b), to obtain regenerated sorbent and an effluent comprising desorbed product; (d) separating the effluent originating from step (c) into a product stream and a reactant stream; and (e) a sorption step, wherein (i) the reactant stream originating from step (d); and/or (ii) an intermediate reaction mixture, which is obtained at the outlet of a reactor not being the last reactor of the reactor sequence, prior to being subjected to the subsequent reactor of the reactor sequence, is contacted with a sorbent selective for one or more of the products of the equilibrium reaction, to obtain a loaded sorbent and a depleted mixture.
