COMBINATORIAL CATALYTIC REACTOR

摘要

A reactor for conducting catalytic chemical reactions has been developed. T he reactor has a well having an open end and a closed end. The reactor also has a sleeve having a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end of the sleeve is inserted within the open end of the well. A fluid permeable structure is attached to the sleeve spanning the cross-section thereby defining a chamber between the closed end of the well and the fluid permeable structure. The reactor also has a reactor insert having a fluid permeable end and a top end containing a first and a second fluid conduit. The fluid permeable end of the reactor is inserted within the open end of the sleeve. The first flui d conduit is in fluid communication with the chamber, and the second fluid conduit is in flu id communication with the fluid permeable end of the reactor insert.
