Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for emulsifying and separating small amounts of immiscible, liquid phases.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an emulsifying and separating device for two immiscible, liquid phases in which reaction conditions which are as identical as possible can be specified for both process steps.
- the solution to this problem according to the invention is based on a device which has a base plate and a cover plate which can be connected tightly thereto, with microchannels cut out on the inner surface of the base plate and / or the cover plate in the form of grooves, two separated by filler openings in the base plate and / or cover plate fillable microchannels intersect several times in a mixing section, the microchannels combined in a subsequent separation section in a common microchannel run and after a subsequent branching are led to separate outlet openings.
- there is no spatial distance between the emulsification of two immiscible, liquid phases and the subsequent separation It is therefore possible with structurally simple means to ensure the same environmental conditions for both process steps.
- the shape of the microchannels in particular the size of the mixing or separating section, can influence the emulsion formation, which is strongly dependent on the geometry.
- the cross-sectional design and surface structure of the recessed microchannels can be easily adapted to any application using precision mechanical manufacturing processes.
- the base plate and the cover plate can optionally be made of metals, plastics or glass suitable for certain chemical reactions, so that use with a wide variety of chemical substances is possible.
- the manufacturing outlay required for producing the entire device is relatively low. Due to the simple construction, the device can be operated almost maintenance-free in the long term. If the base plate is not tightly connected to the cover plate, but instead, for example, solely by pressure, the base plate and the cover plate can be easily taken apart and cleaned in a simple manner.
- the base plate and / or the cover plate have devices for temperature control.
- An important property of microreaction systems is the large surface area of the microchannels relative to the liquid volume. It is therefore possible to effectively control and influence the heat balance, even in the case of strongly endothermic or exothermic reactions. This is achieved in a simple manner by regulating the temperature of the base plate and / or the cover plate. Due to the small cross-sections of the microchannels and the resulting small volume flows, good heat exchange is guaranteed.
- the base plate and the cover plate can be tightly connected by screws. By screwing a connection that is usually sufficiently tight is also established over long periods of time. However, the base plate and the cover plate can be separated from one another again, for example, for easier cleaning.
- the outlet openings of a device for emulsifying and separating immiscible, liquid phases can be connected to the inlet openings of an adjacent device. This enables a multi-stage extraction by connecting several devices in series. possible. This means that reaction mixtures can be continuously worked up, even on a small scale.
- the single figure shows a view of a device consisting of a base plate and a cover plate in an exploded, spatial representation.
- the embodiment of the emulsifying and separating device shown consists of a flat, rectangular base plate 1 and a similarly shaped cover plate 2.
- This section called the mixing section for the sake of simplicity, ends approximately in the middle of the surface 3 of the base plate 1, where both microchannels 4, 4a unite to form a common microchannel 5.
- the common microchannel 5 runs essentially straight.
- the separation section the immiscible, liquid phases are separated on the basis of different physical properties, such as, for example, the surface tension.
- the common microchannel 5 divides again into two outlet channels 6, 6a.
- the base plate 1 and the Cover plate 2 one above the other six screw holes 7 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed on the edges of the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2.
- the cover plate 2 covering the surface 3 of the base plate 1 there are two inlet openings 8, 8 a designed as cylindrical bores as well as outlet openings 9, 9 a. If the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 are tightly connected, the two microchannels 4, 4 a can be filled with liquid phases through the respectively assigned inlet openings 8, 8 a.
- the liquid phases flow through the mixing section, where the two phases are effectively emulsified. After the two phases have been separated in the subsequent separation section, the two phases emerge separately through the respective outlet openings 9, 9a.
- the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 can also be arranged differently, in particular the arrangement of the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 can be exchanged.
- An embodiment variant is also conceivable in which one or more intermediate plates between the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 can be tightly connected to them and each have microchannels recessed on the inner surfaces.
