MICRO-WAVE CHEMICAL REACTION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new apparatus uniformly performing a chemical reaction of an object to be reacted at a high efficiency by flowing the object to be reacted along a central axis of a rectangular wave-guide pipe for transmitting a micro-wave of TE10 mode. SOLUTION: The chemical reaction apparatus is provided with the rectangular wave-guide pipe for transmitting the micro-wave of TE10 mode; and a circulation passage 2 arranged in the wave-guide pipe for circulating the fluid reaction object 3, in which passage the chemical reaction is performed. The circulation passage 2 is made of a material for permeating the micro-wave and extends in an axial direction of the wave-guide pipe 1. It is a rectangular shape in which a side parallel to an electric field is longer than a side perpendicular to the electric field in a cross section of the circulation passage 2 and the most in a longitudinal direction is arranged near the central axis of the wave-guide pipe. The reaction object is made flowing from an upstream end of the circulation passage and the reaction object is irradiated with the micro-wave to generate the chemical reaction during flowing from a downstream end.
