In this work, a single countercurrent-flow microchannel reactor(S-CFMCR) at the size of ~1 mm was developed by steel micro-capillary and laser drilling technology. Utilizing the Villermaux/Dushman parallel competing reaction, numerical and experimental studies were carried out to investigate the micromixing performance(expressed as the segregation index XS) of liquids inside S-CFMCR at the low flow velocity regime.The effects of various operating conditions and design parameters of S-CFMCR, e.g., inlet Reynolds number(Re),volumetric flow ratio(R), inlet diameter(d) and outlet length(L), on the quality of micromixing were studied qualitatively. It was found that the micromixing efficiency was enhanced with increasing Re, but weakened with the increase of R. Moreover, d and L also have a significant influence on micromixing. CFD results were in good agreement with experimental data. In addition, the visualization of velocity magnitude, turbulent kinetic energy and concentration distributions of various ions inside S-CFMCR was illustrated as well. Based on the incorporation model, the estimated minimum micromixing time tmof S-CFMCR is ~2 × 10-4s.展开更多

Due to the stable laminar flow of reaction solution and the moderate reaction conditions, the T-shaped microchannel (T-MC) reactor is supposed to yield microcapsules with regular shape. In this paper, magnetic particles of ferroferric oxide modified by oleic acid (OA-Fe3O4) and dispersed in tetrachloroethylene were used as core material. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was used as shell material. Magnetic microcapsules were prepared by using a T-MC reactor. Factors that influenced the encapsulated reaction were investigated in details, which included the velocity ratio of aqueous phase to oil phase, the length and the inner diameter of the microchannel. The morphology, composition, and magnetic responsiveness of the magnetic microcapsules were analyzed and characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results confirmed that magnetic microcapsules prepared by T-MC reactor were regular in shape.展开更多

In this study, two types of MOFs—Zn-MOF and ZnCe-MOF—were synthesized utilizing the microchannel reaction method, with water being employed as the solvent. The specific surface area, pore size, and pore volume of Zn-MOF and ZnCe-MOF were 1566.4 and 15.6 m^(2)·g^(-1), 0.65 and 7.32 nm, as well as 1.65 and 0.03 cm^(3)·g^(-1), respectively. Furthermore, Ce doping not only increased the pore size of ZnCe-MOF but also its adsorption energy from −0.19 eV (Zn-MOF) to −0.53 eV (ZnCe-MOF). At 298 K, the adsorption capacities of Zn-MOF and ZnCe-MOF were 0.66 and 0.74 mmol·g^(-1), respectively. In addition, the CO_(2) adsorption behaviors of Zn-MOF and ZnCe-MOF were linear and logarithmic, respectively. Theoretical calculations show that the results of adsorption thermodynamic simulations were consistent with the experiments. Thus, the preparation of ZnCe-MOF materials using a microchannel reactor provides a new approach for the continuous preparation of MOFs.展开更多

The rate of this typical gas–liquid reaction is significantly affected by mass transfer. In this study, CoTPP-mediated(CoTPP: cobalt(II) mesotetraphenylporphyrin) selective benzyl alcohol oxidation with oxygen was conducted in a membrane microchannel(MMC) reactor and a bubble column(BC) reactor, respectively. We observed that 83% benzyl alcohol was converted within 6.5 min in the MMC reactor, but only less than 10% benzyl alcohol was converted in the BC reactor. Hydrodynamic characteristics and gas–liquid mass transfer performances were compared for the MMC and BC reactors. The MMC reactor was assumed to be a plug flow reactor,and the dimensionless variance was 0.29. Compared to the BC reactor, the gas–liquid mass transfer was intensified significantly in MMC reactor. It could be ascribed to the high gas holdup(2.9 times higher than that of BC reactor), liquid film mass transfer coefficient(8.2 times higher than that of BC reactor), and mass transfer coefficient per unit interfacial area(3.8 times higher than that of BC reactor). Moreover,the Hatta number for the MMC reactor reached up to 0.61, which was about 15 times higher than that of the BC reactor. The computational fluid dynamics calculations for mass fractions in both liquid and gas phases were consistent with the experimental data.展开更多

Small channel size and diversity are usually patterned in a microchannel reactor, and these features increase the surface area-to-volume ratio and driving force for heat and mass transport. Microchannel reactors are widely used in the petrochemistry, aerospace, electronics, information technology, and automotive industries, among others. According to the geometric shape of microchannels, a microchannel reactor can be classified as parallel, curved, micro-pin-fin array, bionic, or 3D network type. This review summarizes the fabrication methods of microchannel reactors, including traditional mechanical processing, chemical etching, electroforming injection molding technology, non-traditional machining, and sintering. It also presents the various applications of microchannel reactors in catalytic reactions, heat transfer, mixing, and other areas. Finally, this review describes the development and application prospects of microchannel reactors.展开更多
