Abstract
Mass and heat transfer can put significant technological limitations to reactor and process design, which leads to far from ideal solutions for bulk processes. A discussion covers the design, construction, and testing of a single channel micro reactor integrated with a micro mixer to demonstrate the viability of a miniaturized reactor system for an industrial bulk process, based on micro reaction technological considerations; model reaction used, i.e., Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to epsilon-caprolactam with oleum as a catalyst and solvent; the reaction mixture (consisting of caprolactam and oleum) as the key step in the industrial process; window of operation; critical parameters in mass transport models; and the creation of multi micro zones of oxime and oleum rich phases. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 42nd Loss Prevention Symposium (New Orleans, LA 4/6-10/2008).
