Microreactor for gas-solid catalytic reactions

The beneficial features of micro- and mili-reactors such as high surface-to-volume ratio and good control of reaction conditions (temperature, pressure) are applied to study the catalytic selective oxidations for the field of specialty chemicals. We have developed, designed, and manufactured a catalytic reactor with a long reaction path that allows us to study the oxidation process on the catalyst under industrially relevant conditions (catalyst shape, temperature, pressure, and flow conditions).
