Abstract
A reaction device for reacting a liquid-phase reactant and a gas-phase reactant converted into fine bubbles includes: a porous body that includes a plurality of flow paths and in which the flow paths are separated by porous walls, the porous walls include continuous pores, and the porous body includes a reaction catalyst at least on the surface thereof; a solution supply section for supplying a solution containing a gas-phase reactant and a liquid-phase reactant to the continuous pores in the porous body; and a solution discharge section for discharging solution containing a reaction product obtained when the solution flows through the continuous pores of the porous body.
Claims10
A reaction method comprising the following steps:
- supplying a solution containing a gas-phase reactant and a liquid-phase reactant to a reaction device for reacting a fine-bubbled gas-phase reactant and a liquid-phase reactant so that the supplied solution is supplied to continuous pores of a porous body from a solution supply part, the reaction device comprising:
- the porous body having a plurality of flow paths, in which the flow paths are separated by porous walls, the porous walls having the continuous pores, and the porous body having a reaction catalyst on at least a surface thereof,
- the solution supply part configured to supply the solution containing the gas-phase reactant and the liquid-phase reactant to the continuous pores of the porous body, and
- a solution discharge part configured to discharge a solution containing a reaction product, the solution containing the reaction product being obtained by causing the supplied solution to flow through the continuous pores of the porous body, and
- causing the supplied solution to flow through the continuous pores of the porous body to obtain the solution containing a reaction product from the solution discharge part,
- wherein an average particle diameter of the fine-bubbled gas-phase reactant is 1 μm or less.
