The present invention relates to a method for producing a modified polymerization initiator, and more particularly, to a method for preparing a modified polymerization initiator, wherein the method includes the steps of: (S1) introducing a first fluid and a second fluid into a reactor, and reacting the compounds included in the fluids, and (S2) obtaining the modified polymerization initiator prepared by the reaction of the step (S1) through an outlet of the reactor, wherein the step (S1) and step (S2) are continuously performed, wherein in the step (S1), the flow amount of the first fluid and the second fluid is maintained constant at the time when the first fluid and the second fluid are mixed, and the flow rate of the first fluid is increased. Also, the present invention provides an apparatus for producing a modified polymerization initiator for performing the same.

The present invention relates to a mass transfer tray comprising a bottom plate, at least one gas transmission part and a liquid transmission part, wherein the mass transfer tray has at least one valve located in the liquid transmission part, relates to use of a mass transfer tray of the present invention in liquid separation process, relates to a column comprising the trays of the present invention, and relates to a thermal separation process, comprising performing thermal separation within the column of the present invention.

A contactor media includes continuous surface segments, wherein a first continuous surface segment has at least 50% of its surface area follow at least one of: (a) a contour of a first zero-thickness surface having a Gaussian curvature (G.sub.c) of 400 mm.sup.2G.sub.c<0.01 mm.sup.2; and (b) a contour of a second zero-thickness surface having at least one principal curvature (k.sub.i) of 20 mm.sup.1k.sub.i<0.1 mm.sup.1; and wherein the first continuous surface segment provides at least: (a) a total liquid hold-up of between about 1 kg/m.sup.3 to about 800 kg/m.sup.3 or (b) a static liquid hold-up of about 0.1 kg/m.sup.3 to about 800 kg/m.sup.3.
