What are the advantages of microreactors?

(Five advantages of microreactor due to its characteristics:)

1. A small amount of reagents reduces the cost
   When the microreactor is used for the inspection of material properties or the study of chemical processes, very few reagents can be realized. This significantly reduces the cost, and at the same time, more accurate physical and chemical properties can be obtained.
2. High selectivity
   For many biochemical reactions, the same reactant often yields multiple products. In fact, the control of reaction conditions is not precise and stable enough, which affects the reaction kinetics and thermodynamic process and affects the final product. In the microreactor, the reaction conditions can be well controlled to achieve high-precision selection of products.
3. Green and low consumption
   The improvement of heat transfer efficiency also greatly improves the energy utilization rate. Compared with the conventional production process, the microchemical process consumes less energy and is more environmentally friendly. And think, as mentioned above, microreactions can achieve a high degree of product selection, which will greatly reduce the subsequent separation work.
4. Quick response
   This advantage is mainly manifested when the rate-determining step of the reaction is the mass transfer step. That is, at the conventional scale C, due to the slow mass transfer rate, it becomes the controlling step of the whole reaction. For this type of reaction, the use of microreactors will enhance the mass transfer process, thereby increasing the reaction rate of the overall reaction.
5. Safety
   The tiny space in the microreactor allows those reactions involving highly reactive, toxic or explosive intermediates to be carried out under safer conditions (mainly referring to the accumulation of low amounts). And a sufficiently large specific surface area also allows the exothermic reaction to rapidly transfer energy to the outside during the reaction process, reducing the risk of overheating and explosion.
