Production of chemical reactors

Abstract

A method for producing a chemical reactor. The chemical reactor comprises one or more effective channels which comprise pillar structures, an input connected to one of the effective channels to allowfluid / gas into the effective channels and an output connected to one of the effective channels to remove at least one component of the liquid / gas. The method comprises obtaining an initial design of the reactor, further introducing into the initial design at least a structured area positioned adjacent to an effective channel of the one or more effective channels located at the edge of the initialdesign, the structured area not being fluidly connected to one of the effective channels, to obtain a further design and the production of the reactor according to the further design.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to chemical reactors, such as chromatography systems, for example. More specifically, the present invention relates to chemical reaction generation techniques and resulting chemical reactors, such as chemical reactors having multiple parallel channels, which optionally may also include microfabricated column structures. Background technique [0002] Systems utilizing liquid propagation have numerous applications, including chemical component production, nanoparticle synthesis, separation and / or extraction of components, and the like. A specific example of a separation technique for separating mixtures such that they can be analyzed accurately is chromatography. There are various forms of chromatography such as gas chromatography, gel chromatography, thin layer chromatography, adsorption chromatography, affinity chromatography, liquid chromatography, and the like. [0003] Liquid chromatography is commonly used ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] While it is known that the problem is edge effects caused by differences in flow velocities at the column walls and in the center of the channel - assuming that the column structures at the edges are produced as precisely as in the center - as described for example in International Patent Application WO2014 / 122592, it does not appear to be the case for columns with column structures All deviations in the efficiency of

[0006] For example, it has been determined that in structures with multiple parallel channels (often chosen to produce long columns with high separation capacity but using limited substrate length), the separation efficiency in the outer channels is generally lower than in structures closer to the center Efficiency in the channel
