ENVIRONMENT CLEANUP MICRO REACTOR SYSTEM

摘要

A high-performance, ultra-small, low-cost, high-safety environment cleanup micro reactor system capable of reducing ethylene oxide (EO) discharged from an EO-using sterilizer in hospitals or the like. The micro reactor system comprises an air heating unit (1) for sucking air outside an apparatus and heating the air by a heater so as to be able to deliver it at a specified flow rate, a gas mixing chamber (2) for admitting a noxious gas introduced from the outside of the apparatus and heated air delivered from the air heating unit (1) for mixing them, and a catalyst reaction unit (3) composed of catalyst-carrying micro reactor elements (32) stored in reaction units (31), for rendering noxious gas harmless by allowing a mixed gas mixed in the gas mixing chamber (2) to contact the catalyst while flowing and moving through the micro reactor elements (32), wherein the micro reactor elements (32) have a large number of fine flow paths that cross, merge or branch three-dimensionally and have diameters of several µm to several hundreds of µm.
