Description

High-flux reactor and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of high-flux parallel reaction experiments, in particular to a high-flux reactor and a system.
Background
With the advent of the 4.0 era of industry, the development of intelligent high-throughput detection technology has been on the go. Catalysis is a basic stone in the chemical industry, and research and development of novel catalysts are always carried out in the industry so as to better meet the industrial application demands. The research and development of the catalyst are usually large in test amount, long in period and multiple in influencing factors, and the conventional single-channel reactor cannot meet the requirement of rapid screening of the catalyst. In order to improve the development efficiency, researchers introduce high-throughput detection technology into catalytic reaction evaluation, and a plurality of single-channel reactors are placed in parallel, so that parallel tests of a plurality of catalytic reactions are simultaneously carried out. In addition, small-scale experiments are performed in a small reactor with a few reagents and samples, which have special requirements for the reactor system used, in view of development efficiency, safety of the experiment, cost reduction, space saving, etc.
At present, most of reactor systems at home and abroad still adopt a traditional single-tube reactor parallel placement mode, and sample loading and unloading are complex and complicated. The temperature is usually controlled by adopting external heating modes such as a heating furnace, an oil bath, a sand bath and the like, the rising/cooling speed is slower, the time required for each channel to reach stability is longer, and the temperature deviation is larger. Conventional reactors still control the flow of a corresponding single reaction channel through a single or multiple mass flow controllers, with a corresponding back pressure valve being provided at each reaction channel outlet. The traditional flow and pressure control mode requires a large number of mass, flow controllers and back pressure valves, so that the equipment space and the cost are greatly increased. In order to better compare the experimental results executed in different reaction channels, a new technical means needs to be developed to accurately control the process conditions such as airspeed, temperature and pressure of the high-flux parallel reaction system.

Example 2
As shown in fig. 6, the present embodiment provides a microfluidic chip 1 including a chip main board 110, a chip sub-board 111, a chip inlet 12, a fluid confinement channel, and a chip outlet 16.
The chip main board 110 and the chip sub-board 111 are made of a material resistant to fluid corrosion such as silicon, quartz, glass, or metal. The center of the chip motherboard 110 is coaxial with the center of the chip sub-board 111, and the length and width dimensions of the chip sub-board 111 need to cover at least all the fluid channels (including the chip inlet 12, the fluid confinement channel, and the chip outlet 16) in the chip motherboard 110. Only the chip motherboard 110 and the chip sub-board 111 are shown as square in fig. 6, it will be appreciated that the chip motherboard 110 and the chip sub-board 111 may alternatively be circular, hexagonal, or other shapes to suit specific installation and use requirements.
The chip inlet 12 is located at the center of the chip main board 110, alternatively, the chip inlet 12 may be located at the center of the chip sub-board 111. The chip inlet 12 and the chip outlet 16 are connected by a fluid-restricted channel etched into the chip motherboard 110. The fluid restriction channels may be provided with various channels on the order of microns to millimeters, depending on the various fluid flow rates, pressures, etc., and the fluid restriction channels illustrated in the example of fig. 6 may be provided with channels on the order of microns.
The fluid confining channels include a first confining channel 13, a second confining channel 14 and a third confining channel 15, which are connected in sequence to a chip inlet 12 and a chip outlet 16.
The first limiting channel 13 is provided with a plurality of alternating wide channels and narrow channels, and the two or more reaction fluids entering from the chip inlet 12 are fully mixed by continuously splitting and converging the reaction fluids.
The second limiting channel 14 is one channel or a mixture of several channels among a straight channel, a mixing channel and a unidirectional channel, so as to meet different practical application requirements.
The third limiting channel 15 is uniformly provided with a plurality of convolution cavities, each convolution cavity comprises two funnel-shaped structures connected end to end, and the one-way circulation function of each convolution cavity prevents fluid from flowing back.
In the example of fig. 6, the chip inlet 12 is connected to four fluid-confining channels, and each fluid-confining channel is connected at its end to a corresponding chip outlet 16. For example, the reaction fluid has a pressure P1 at the chip inlet 12 and a pressure P2 after entering the four fluid limiting channels to the chip outlet 16, respectively. In order to uniformly distribute the reaction fluid to the four fluid channels, that is, the differential pressures P1-P2 from the chip inlet 12 to the chip outlet 16 corresponding to the four channels are consistent, the combination mode of each fluid channel and the functions and lengths of the fluid limiting channels of each segment should be kept consistent.
Fig. 6 shows only four identical fluid-confining channels in a layout, with other combinations of fluid-confining channels and corresponding adjustments to the lengths of the individual segments of fluid-confining channels as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, even more fluid restriction channels 8, 12 or 16 may be laid out to meet practical application requirements.

The chip inlet 12 is connected to a reaction fluid source 10, and the reaction fluid source 10 is used for providing a reaction fluid, and the reaction fluid enters the chip inlet 12 from the reaction fluid source 10 through a first fluid channel 11. Wherein the reactive fluid may be at least one of a gas or a liquid. This embodiment only shows the case where the reaction fluid is split into four identical fluid limiting channels via the chip inlet 12.
The high throughput reactor 2 comprises a reactor 19, the reactor 19 being connected to a chip outlet 16, and the reaction fluid being fed into the reactor 19 via a reactor inlet 18 after exiting from the chip outlet 16. A pressure sensor 17 is arranged between the reactor inlet 18 and the chip outlet 16, the pressure sensor 17 monitors the fluid pressure P3 in real time, and the reaction fluid enters the reactor 19 and undergoes catalytic reaction in the catalyst bed 20. It should be noted that the number of reactors corresponds to the number of the above-described divided flow restricting passages, and this embodiment shows the case where four reactors are provided, but any number greater than one is possible for this embodiment.
The pressure control module 3 includes a pressure controller 22 and a balance fluid source 23. The pressure controller 22 is connected to the reactor 19 via a second fluid channel 21, and the pressure controller 22 is connected to a balancing fluid source 23 via a balancing common channel 24. The function of the pressure controller 22 is to regulate the pressure of the reaction fluid passing through the reactor 19 (i.e., the value P3 of the pressure sensor 17) to be the same as the pressure P4 of the balance fluid (p3=p4).
The high throughput reactor system of this embodiment further includes a switching valve 26, and the reaction fluid flows from the pressure controller 22, through a third fluid channel 25, and into the switching valve 26.

The actual operation of the reactor module will be described specifically by taking the case that the fluid is split into four fluid limiting channels and enters into the corresponding four reaction channels 62 through the microfluidic chip 1.
