Continuous flow-microwave reactor: Where are we?

Abstract: This article presents the different microwave continuous reactors existing, which are reported in literature to carry out chemical synthesis with a more efficient way. It shows how the methods and tools of chemical engineering can be useful and necessary to define, characterize and optimize the microwave reactors. This review scans continuous microwave reactors, by describing the different types of microwave technologies used (multimode, single-mode, coaxial or guided transmission. . .). It then focuses on the… Show more

“…Although the penetration depth of the microwave is a drawback, [19] the problem can be solved by combining it with the flow method. [20] We utilized a microwave flow system (see 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 frontispiece) that can monitor and control the reaction conditions and verify the optimization of basic and practical organic reactions.…”

“…In addition, a temperature gradient does not exist inside the material since the heat energy is simultaneously internally generated throughout the material. When microwave irradiation is applied to materials, it can produce electron polarization, atomic polarization, and interfacial and dipole orientation polarization, and the latter two are the main dielectric heating mechanisms. Since molecular motion is caused by ion migration or dipole molecule rotation, microwave heating largely depends on the dissipation factor or dielectric loss tangent, tan δ , which indicates the magnitude of the microwave energy lost in the form of heat dissipation into the material normaltan0.24emδ=εε where ε ′ is the relative dielectric constant, which describes the ability of a material to store electrical energy; and ε ″ is the dielectric loss factor, which indicates the ability and efficiency of the microwave energy absorbed by the material to be converted into heat.…”
