MULTI-PHASE CONTACTING PROCESS USING MICROCHANNEL PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

摘要

The disclosed technology relates to a process for contacting a liquid phase (170) and a second fluid phase (172), comprising: flowing the liquid phase (170) and/or second fluid phase (172) in a process microchannel (100A) in contact with surface features (176, 178) in the process microchannel (100A), the contacting of the surface features (176, 178) with the liquid phase (170) and/or second fluid phase (172) imparting a disruptive flow to the liquid phase (170) and/or second fluid phase (172); contacting the liquid phase (1 with the second fluid phase (172) in the process microchannel (100A); and transferring mass from the liquid phase (170) to the second fluid phase (17 and/or from the second fluid phase (172) to the liquid phase (170).
