Abstract
Modular microreactors are provided composed of microreactor parts including a plate body which has, on one plate side, a groove-shaped depression in which a reactor tube is accommodated, and the reaction tube has connection ends on the outer sides of the plate body. Also disclosed are reaction tubes for turbulent mixing, kits for producing the reactors and the use thereof for commencing chemical reactions.
Claims16
A microreactor part comprising:
- a plate body including opposing sides, one of said sides having an outer surface and a depression formed in said outer surface,
- a reaction tube in said depression and positioned completely below said outer surface, said reaction tube having connection ends located at an edge of the plate body, and being spaced from the plate body along an entire length of said reaction tube;
- and
- an induction coil a thermal transfer medium in said depression between said reaction tube and said plate body.
1 more element
A reaction tube comprising:
- an inner diameter of up to 20 mm and a cross-sectional constriction as a mixing element, the cross-section being constricted on one side of the tube, preferably a round tube, by at least 15%, preferably at least 20%.
A microreactor comprising:
- at least two microreactor parts, each having a plate body which has an outer surface and a depression formed in said outer surface on one plate side;
- a reaction tube in said depression and positioned completely below said outer surface, said reaction tube being spaced from said plate body and including connection ends located at an edge of said plate body, wherein ends of said reaction tubes of the at least two microreactor parts are connected via a connection element;
- and
- an induction coil a thermal transfer medium in said depression between said reaction tube and said plate body.
1 more element
A kit for producing a microreactor comprising;
- at least two microreactor parts having a plate body which each have an outer surface and a depression formed in said outer surface on one plate side of said plate body;
- a reaction tube in said depression and positioned completely below said outer surface, said reaction tube including connection ends located at an edge of the plate body;
- a connection element for connecting the reaction tubes of the microreactor parts;
- and
- an induction coil a thermal transfer medium in said depression between said reaction tube and said plate body.
