A contactor has been developed which is especially suitable for experimental investigations of mass transfer with chemical reaction in liquid‐liquid systems. Its function has been tested with the reaction between tetrachlorohydroquinone (dissolved in a mixture of 2‐octanone and carbon tetrachloride) and ceric sulfate (in 0.5M sulfuric acid). In the contactor described in this work the kinetics of this reaction can be investigated in the very slow reaction regime (kinetic regime). It is also possible easily to determine whether a reaction takes place to an appreciable extent in only one or both phases.
