Abstract

This invention provides a microreactor comprising a microchamber provided with a raw material introduction port and a product discharge port; wherein solid catalysts are aligned in a line in the longitudinal direction of the microchamber to fill the microchamber.

Claims (18)

1. A microreactor, comprising:

a microchamber provided with a raw material introduction port and a product discharge port; wherein

solid catalysts are aligned in a line in a longitudinal direction of the microchamber to fill the microchamber, and

the solid catalysts are pellet-shaped, tablet-shaped, or disc-shaped.

2. The microreactor according to claim 1 , wherein the solid catalysts are configured in such a manner that a pellet-shaped, tablet shaped or disc shaped support carries a catalyst including a transition metal element and/or an acid, or a transition metal element and/or a base.

3. A liquid chemical reaction method using the microreactor according to claim 1 , comprising:

introducing a liquid raw material from the raw material introduction port to the microchamber,

conducting a chemical reaction in the microchamber to obtain a product, and

discharging the product from the product discharge port of the microreactor.

4. The liquid chemical reaction method according to claim 3 , wherein the product includes a product in the form of gas.

5. A liquid chemical reaction method using the microreactor according to claim 2 , comprising:

introducing a liquid raw material from the raw material introduction port to the microchamber,

conducting a chemical reaction in the microchamber to obtain a product, and

discharging the product from the product discharge port of the microreactor.

6. The liquid chemical reaction method according to claim 5 , wherein the product includes a product in the form of gas.

7. A microreactor, comprising:

a microchamber provided with a raw material introduction port and a product discharge port; and

pellet-shaped, tablet-shaped, or disc-shaped solid catalysts aligned one by one in a row in a longitudinal direction of the microchamber, the row being a straight line or a curved line.
