Micro reactors offer several advantages over traditional batch reactors in catalytic processes:
Enhanced Heat and Mass Transfer: Due to their small dimensions, micro reactors provide superior heat and mass transfer rates, which are essential for efficient catalytic reactions. Improved Safety: The small volumes used in micro reactors reduce the risk of hazardous reactions, making them safer for handling exothermic and toxic reactions. Scalability: Reactions optimized at the micro-scale can be scaled up by numbering-up multiple micro reactors, facilitating industrial applications. Precise Control: Micro reactors allow for precise control over reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and residence time, which are critical in catalytic processes.
