Classification:

According to the scale of reactants:

Capillary microwave continuous reactor: suitable for micro reactions such as drug molecule screening or catalyst precursor synthesis.

Single mode microwave continuous reactor: using a single-mode microwave cavity, the point field distribution is predictable, the repeatability is good, and it is suitable for low flow continuous flow processes.

Large scale microwave continuous reactor: using multi-mode microwave cavity, with large cavity space and modular power design, easy to increase, suitable for high flow continuous flow process.

According to the sample adding operation mode:

Continuous flow microreactor: continuous input of reactants and continuous output of products, achieving full process automation.

Semi continuous flow microreactors: Part of the reactants are continuously input, while others are intermittently added, suitable for multi-step reactions or complex synthesis.

Intermittent microreactors: batch addition of reactants and batch output of products, suitable for small-scale experiments or special reaction conditions.

Microwave continuous flow reactorAdvantages and disadvantages:

Advantages: fast heating, precise residence time, good batch consistency, small volume, low solvent and reagent usage, easy automation and online detection integration.

Disadvantages: Low heating efficiency of non-polar solvents; high salt/High solid content systems are prone to local overheating; The channel is prone to scaling and blockage; Microwave penetration depth is limited, and amplification requires matching cavity type and flow rate; High pressure and corrosive materials require strict selection and sealing.
