Abstract
In order to suppress discharge of an unreacted content in a chemical reaction apparatus for irradiating a content with microwaves, a chemical reaction apparatus includes: a horizontal flow-type reactor in which a liquid content horizontally flows with an unfilled space being provided thereabove; a microwave generator that generates microwaves; and a waveguide that transmits the microwaves generated by the microwave generator to the unfilled space in the reactor, wherein the inside of the reactor is partitioned into multiple chambers to by overflow-type partition plates and that allow the content to flow thereover and an underflow-type partition plate that allows the content to flow thereunder.
Claims7
A chemical reaction apparatus, comprising:
- a liquid content;
- a horizontal flow-type reactor configured to allow the liquid content to flow horizontally comprising:
- an unfilled space above the liquid content;
- a microwave generator that generates microwaves;
- a waveguide that transmits the microwaves generated by the microwave generator to the unfilled space in the reactor;
- and
- a plurality of partition plates partitioning the inside of the reactor into multiple chambers comprising at least one of:
- an overflow-type partition plate that only allows the content to flow thereover;
- and
- an underflow-type partition plate that only allows the content to flow thereunder, wherein each underflow-type partition plate has an aperture higher than the top of the overflow-type partition plate, and above the liquid content, and wherein microwaves can pass through the aperture;
- wherein the unfilled space is continuous above the plurality of partition plates in the reactor.
A chemical reaction apparatus, comprising:
- a liquid content;
- a horizontal flow-type reactor configured to allow the liquid content to flow horizontally;
- a plurality of partition plates partitioning the inside of the reactor into multiple chambers comprising at least one of:
- an overflow-type partition plate allowing the liquid content to only flow over the overflow-type partition plate;
- and
- an underflow-type partition plate allowing the liquid content to only flow under the underflow-type partition plate, the underflow-type partition plate including an aperture higher than the top of the overflow-type partition, and above the liquid content;
- a microwave generator that generates microwaves;
- and
- a waveguide that transmits the microwaves generated by the microwave generator, wherein the microwaves pass through the aperture,
- wherein the entire liquid flow in the reactor is continuously separated from the top of the reactor by a constant distance.
