Microreactors

Microreactors are reactors with extremely small structures (internal dimensions < 1 mm).
They perform tasks such as mixing, dispersing, gassing, chemical precipitation, heat transfer and play an increasingly important role in process engineering. Their advantages lie in an increase in the yield and selectivity of the reactions through more efficient heat exchange and mass transport. In addition, interfacial tension and wetting of the channel surface play a crucial role in microstructures. The use of flow simulations enables the time-saving selection of optimal reactor structures.
