Novel liquid phase microreactors for safe production of hazardous specialty chemicals

摘要

A novel liquid-phase microreactor with thin film temperature sensing, good thermal management, and fast mixing has been fabricated for the production of hazardous specialy chemicals, specifically for organic peroxides. The reactor has been characterized and shown to be suitable for these types of applications. Moreover, fast mixing at 10ms and good heat transfer based on an overall heat transfer coefficient of 1445 W/m~2 deg Cwere demonstrated. The restablished linear resistive response of the temperature sensors was confirmed experimentally, and the reactor was shown to operate at 11 psi at the 1.0 ml/min design flow rate.
