Microwave reactor for continuous microwave treatment of a flowing fluid medium

摘要

Microwave reactor (1) comprising: - a flow tube transparent to microwaves, extending longitudinally along a flow axis (20) for a flow of a fluid medium; - an input waveguide (4) extending along a propagation axis (40) orthogonal to the flow axis, having a rectangular section with two long sides parallel to the flow axis and two short sides orthogonal to the flow axis; - an enclosure (3) inside which extends the flow tube, made of a material reflecting the microwaves, having a lateral dimension greater than the small dimension of the short sides of the waveguide input, said input waveguide being fixed transversely to the enclosure which has an input window surrounded by the input waveguide for propagation of microwaves through the input window to the inside the enclosure.
