Abstract:

Micro-structured chemical system on micrometer scale as characteristic size is one of the highly promising chemical engineering technologies for making chemical processes safe，green and highly efficient. The characteristics of micro-structured chemical system are based on controllable flow，fast mixing and efficient mass/heat transport on micrometer scale，which are very helpful to accelerating the apparent rate of reaction/separation processes，reducing the size of process equipment，and increasing the safety of engineering processes. During recent years，micro-structured chemical system has developed significantly in material preparation，measurement/analysis and reaction/ separation process intensification. Comparing with the traditionally chemical engineering processes and devices，the advantages of micro-structured chemical system are evident.
