What Techniques are Used to Achieve Enhanced Mixing?
Several techniques can be employed to achieve enhanced mixing:
1. Mechanical Stirring: Using impellers or stirrers to physically mix the reaction medium. 2. Ultrasound: Applying ultrasonic waves to create cavitation and micro-mixing. 3. Micromixers: Utilizing microfluidic devices to ensure thorough mixing at the microscale. 4. Bubble Columns: Introducing gas bubbles to induce mixing through fluid dynamics. 5. Static Mixers: Employing stationary mixing elements within the flow path to disrupt and mix the stream.
