Clarification of wording in matter phases

Question

I read on the internet a sentence that went:

The reactions can be done in the gaseous phase dispersed in liquids.

Does this mean that the reactions can occur to the participants while they are in a gaseous form, and are dispersed in liquids? So the participants are not liquid, but are dispersed in liquids while are in gaseous form?

Thanks!

Unclear indeed. More context would be useful. – fffred Dec 26 '16 at 23:53 — fffred, Dec 26 '16 at 23:53

Yes, it is one of possible methods, in. e.g., a bubble column.
