BLOCKING PREVENTION DEVICE OF MICRO-CHANNEL AND BLOCKING PREVENTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blocking prevention device of a micro-channel which reduces the expense of working cost and time cost in maintenance of a micro-reactor to enhance the productivity and to provide a blocking prevention method.;SOLUTION: The blocking prevention device of the micro-channel is provided with a passage formed body (11) to form the micro-channel (R) that advances the reaction of a fluid (L3) to be reacted and an ultrasonic vibration imparting means (13) to impart the ultrasonic vibration to the passage formed body (11). The ultrasonic vibration that the ultrasonic vibration imparting means (13) emits is transmitted to the fluid (L3) to be reacted flowing in the micro-channel (R) via the passage formed body (11). The characteristics of vibration is set to the frequency and amplitude so as to inhibit the bonding between molecules because the molecule of the fluid (L3) within the micro-channel (R) generates microvibration. Thus, the accumulation of high-viscosity fluid or granules that can be produced during the reaction progress, or the deposit of crystal is avoided. Resultingly, the blocking of the micro-channel (R) can be prevented.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
