Several types of flow reactors are used in catalysis, including:
Plug Flow Reactors (PFR): Ideal for reactions requiring a uniform residence time. Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactors (CSTR): Suitable for reactions that benefit from constant mixing. Packed Bed Reactors: Often used in heterogeneous catalysis where the catalyst is in a solid form. Microreactors: These offer precise control over reaction conditions and are ideal for high-throughput screening.
