The use of microreactors in catalysis presents several benefits: 1. Enhanced Heat and Mass Transfer: The small dimensions of microreactors ensure efficient heat and mass transfer, reducing hot spots and concentration gradients. 2. Higher Reaction Rates: The improved transfer properties can lead to higher reaction rates and selectivity. 3. Scalability: Microreactors can be easily scaled out by numbering up, allowing for flexible production scales. 4. Safety: The small volumes involved improve safety, especially for highly exothermic or hazardous reactions.
