COMBINATORIAL CATALYTIC REACTOR

摘要

A reactor for conducting catalytic chemical reactions has been developed. The reactor has a housing (2) having an open end (6) and a closed end (4). The reactor also has a sleeve (14) having a top end (16) and a bottom end (12). The bottom end of the sleeve is inserted within the open end of the housing. A fluid permeable structure (18) is attached to the sleeve (14) spanning the cross-section thereby defining a chamber between the closed end of the housing and the fluid permeable structure. The reactor also has a reactor insert (22) having a first end and a second end containing a first (30) and a second (32) fluid conduit. The first end of the reactor is inserted within the top end of the sleeve.
