What is microchemical technology?

Micro-chemical technology usually includes systems such as micro-heat exchange, micro-reaction, micro-separation and micro-analysis, of which the first two are more important.

Micro-chemical technology starts from the source of chemical preparation process and equipment, and takes advantage of the strong improvement in mixing (mass transfer) and heat transfer of micro-channel reactors, as well as the advantages of small reaction liquid holding capacity (intrinsically safe) and no amplification effect , which integrates continuous steady state and integrated automatic control into the optimization, design, and large-scale production of chemical synthesis processes. Continuous flow process is an important technical means to improve the intrinsic safety of hazardous chemical production and realize industrial transformation and upgrading.

The micro-chemical process is a chemical process carried out in a limited space of micron or sub-millimeter (0.1-1mm) with microstructure elements as the core. For microreactors, the characteristic length is usually required to be less than 0.5mm. In the microchemical process, the tiny dispersion scale enhances the mixing and transfer process, thereby improving the controllability and efficiency of the process. When applied to industrial production processes, large-scale production is usually achieved in accordance with the basic principle of parallel scale-up.
