Microstructured Reactors for Heterogeneous Catalytic Processes

  • Chapter
Basic Principles in Applied Catalysis

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 75))

Abstract

Microstructured reactors are mainly characterized by their very high surface to volume ratio compared to traditional chemical reactors. Multichannel microreactors having channel diameters in the order of ten to several hundred micrometers have specific surface areas up to 50’000 m2/m3. This value is roughly two orders of magnitude higher compared to conventional production vessels.

Due to the small reactor dimensions diffusion times are short and the influence of mass transfer on the rate of reaction can be efficiently reduced. As the heat transfer performance is greatly improved compared to conventional systems, higher reaction temperatures are admissible leading to reduced reaction volumes and amount of catalyst. Therefore, microstructured reactors are especially predestinated for fast, highly exothermic or endothermic chemical reactions.
