Abstract
In a reaction caused by using a microreactor which provides a plurality of supply routes in communication with one reaction channel as a multicylindrical structure having a co-axis and causes a plurality of fluids L1, L2, L3 to flow together in the reaction channel via the respective fluid supply routes, whereby these fluids L1, L2, L3 are coaxially laminated and caused to flow as laminar flows whose sections orthogonal to the co-axis are annular and the fluids are diffused together in a normal direction of contact interfaces thereof to cause the reaction, among the plurality of laminated fluids L1, L2, L3, at least one fluid is constituted by a fluid not participating in the reaction of other fluids.
Claims9
A reaction method comprising
- flowing fluids through a microreactor,
- coaxially laminating the fluids and causing the fluids to flow as laminar flows whose sections orthogonal to the co-axis are annular, and
- reacting the fluids by diffusing the fluids in a normal direction of contact interfaces of the fluids,
- wherein the microreactor has a plurality of fluid supply routes in communication with one reaction channel as a multicylindrical structure having a co-axis and causes a plurality of fluids to flow together in the reaction channel via the respective fluid supply routes,
- wherein among said plurality of laminated fluids, at least one fluid is a fluid not participating in the reaction of other fluids and
- wherein the cross-sectional thickness of said fluids participating in the reaction is varied by increasing or decreasing the flow rate of said fluid not participating in the reaction.
