Two reactants are introduced into a slot-shaped reaction space (3) of a reactor. The space is formed between lateral surfaces (2) of two equally large and right parallelepipedal wall elements (1) comprising solid plates. The reactants are introduced from the edge of the slot-shaped reaction spaces situated on the same side of the block. Two reactants are introduced into a slot-shaped reaction space of a reactor. The spaces are formed between lateral surfaces of two equally large and right parallelepipedal wall elements comprising solid plates. The wall elements are arranged interchangeably in a block within the virtual parallelepiped. The reactants are introduced from edge regions of the slot-shaped reaction spaces situated on the same side of the block. The reactants are conducted as a reaction mixture through the reaction spaces in the same direction in parallel flows. A fluid heat exchange medium is conducted through tubular cavities (5) extending in the interior of the wall elements to obtain the desired reaction. An independent claim is also included for apparatus comprising the reactor in which the slot-shaped reaction spaces are capable of having the reactants supplied from the same side of the block. The reaction spaces are oriented to guide the reaction mixture in the same direction in parallel flows.
