Method and Apparatus for a Directly Electrically Heated Flow-Through Chemical Reactor

摘要

A system and method for facilitating a chemical reaction is provided. The system can have an electrically conductive member. The electrically conductive member is capable of holding a chemical mixture. The electrically conductive member is directly coupled to a power source and is heated when the power source is on. When a chemical mixture is within the electrically conductive member and the power source is on, the chemical mixture is heated such that a chemical reaction can occur.

1. A method of facilitating a chemical reaction, the method comprising:
directly coupling an electrically conductive member and a source of electrical power, the electrically conductive member having an interior region configured to be substantially resistant to chemical corrosion and capable of retaining a chemical mixture therein; providing the chemical mixture to the interior region of the electrically conductive member; and heating the electrically conductive member to a predetermined temperature by controlling the electrical power applied to the electrically conductive member to cause a chemical reaction within the chemical mixture.
