First Investigation of the two-phase oxidation of isobutane by a micro reactor.


First Investigation of the two-phase oxidation of isobutane by a micro reactor.

Willms, T.; Kryk, H.

The micro reactor, the principal structure and components of the lab facility and the most important challenges of its construction are presented. As a proof of functionality, the first two-phase flow oxidation experiment of isobutane to t-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in a micro reactor was accomplished. Challenges of the gas chromatographic analytics (GC) of the reaction are discussed.
The chromatogram of the reaction mixture obtained by the first experiment has been interpreted.
Furthermore a device has been developed to allow the analysis of the gaseous products in a high pressure steel crucible for Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
It has been used to analyze the gases resulting from the decomposition of TBHP at higher temperatures by GC.

Keywords: micro reactor; isobutane oxidation; gas chromatography
