What are the Key Components of a Continuous Flow System?
A continuous flow system typically includes several key components:
Reactant Feed System: Pumps and reservoirs to deliver reactants at controlled rates. Flow Reactor: The vessel where the reaction occurs, which can be a tube, column, or microreactor. Catalyst Bed: For heterogeneous catalysis, this is where the catalyst is housed within the reactor. Heat Exchanger: To control the reaction temperature. Product Collection System: To continuously remove and collect the reaction products.
