What Types of Modular Reactors Are Used in Catalysis?
Several types of modular reactors are commonly used in catalysis:
1. Microreactors: These reactors have channels with dimensions in the micrometer range and are known for their excellent heat and mass transfer properties. They are ideal for conducting kinetic studies and reaction mechanism investigations. 2. Continuous Flow Reactors: These reactors operate with a continuous input of reactants and output of products, allowing for steady-state conditions and easy scalability. They are widely used in industrial catalysis. 3. Packed Bed Reactors: These reactors contain a fixed bed of catalyst particles and are commonly used for heterogeneous catalysis. Their modular design allows for easy replacement and regeneration of the catalyst bed.
