A microreactor for microwave-assisted capillary (continuous flow) organic synthesis.
A capillary-based flow system has been developed for conducting microscale organic synthesis with the aid of microwave irradiation. The capillary internal diameter investigated ranged from 200 to 1200 mum, while the flow rate was varied between 2 and 40 muL/min, which corresponds to the sample being irradiated approximately 4 min. Other parameters investigated include reaction concentration and...
متن کاملMathematical model for mixing reactants in a capillary microreactor by transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles.
Transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles (TDLFP) was recently suggested as a generic approach for mixing reactants inside a capillary microreactor. Conceptually, solutions of reactants are injected inside the capillary by high pressure as a series of consecutive plugs. Because of the laminar nature of the flow inside the capillary, the nondiffused plugs have parabolic profiles with predomi...
متن کاملCatalytic Synthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide in a Capillary Microreactor
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen has been investigated in a capillary and a stacked microreactor, where Pd/C catalyst was coated on the silicone wall of a microchannel. In order to make the system of H2O2 production compact, a flow-through solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) electrolyzer, which was used for the evolution of H2 and O2 instead of gas cylinders, was c...
متن کاملSucrose Hydrolysis in a Bespoke Capillary Wall-Coated Microreactor
Microscale technology has been increasingly used in chemical synthesis up to production scale, but in biocatalysis the implementation has been proceeding at a slower pace. In this work, the design of a low cost and versatile continuous flow enzyme microreactor is described that illustrates the potential of microfluidic reactors for both the development and characterization of biocatalytic proce...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Mass Transfer with Two-Phase Slug Flow in a Capillary
The multiphase flow of two immiscible liquids in a circular capillary micromixer was investigated numerically. The mass transfer characteristics of this flow pattern are of primary interest in this study. A simple neutralization titration reaction was chosen as the basis. The liquid-liquid two phase slug flow was formed during the mixing. The mixing was quantified for different volume flow rate...
