Definitions for "Microreactor"
a reactor utilizing micro-space
A minitiarized reaction system used for chemical synthesis.
A microreactor or microstructured reactor or microchannel reactor is a device in which chemical reactions take place in a confinement with typical lateral dimensions below 1 mm; the most typical form of such confinement are microchannels Recent advances in synthetic micro reaction technology Paul Watts and Charlotte Wiles Chem. Commun., 2007, 443 - 467, . Microreactors are studied in the field of micro process engineering, together with other devices (such as micro heat exchangers) in which physical processes occur.
