Multi-injection microstructured reactor for intensification of fast exothermic reactions: proof of concept

Thomas Maeder, Lioubov Kiwi, Albert Renken, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Quasi-instantaneous exothermic reactions lead to the formation of unwanted hot spots even when carried out in conventional microstructured reactors (MSR) with tube diameter of 100 − 1000 μm. For this reason, alternative MSR designs are warranted to enable ...
