Disclosed is a method for preparing an EVA copolymer with a high ethylene content by solution polymerization under a low to a medium pressure. The method comprises the following steps: initiating with a free radical initiator(s), a copolymerization reaction between ethylene and vinyl acetate in a solvent in a reactor under a low to a medium pressure to obtain the EVA copolymer; and continuing to add ethylene during the reaction to maintain the low to medium pressure, wherein the low to medium pressure is 1-101 MPa, and a ratio of a mass of the vinyl acetate to a mass of the initially added ethylene is (1:1) to (1:20). The amount of ethylene incorporated in the EVA copolymer prepared according to the method is ≥ 50 wt%, and the EVA copolymer has properties equivalent to those of an EVA copolymer obtained by bulk polymerization at high temperature under high pressure.

A reactor for carrying out a chemical reaction has a reactor vessel, one or more reaction tubes and means for the electrical heating of the one or more reaction tubes. The reactor vessel has one or more discharge orifices which are permanently open or are set up to open above a preset pressure level, and gas feed means are provided, which are set up to feed an inerting gas into an interior of the reactor vessel.
