• Precise control of reaction temperature: 

Microreaction equipment achieves excellent heat transfer efficiency with its extremely high specific surface area. Even if a large amount of heat is released instantaneously during the reaction process, the microreactor can dissipate heat in time and stabilize the reaction temperature. In contrast, when conventional reactors handle strong exothermic reactions, local overheating occurs from time to time due to insufficient heat exchange efficiency. Local overheating will not only lead to the generation of by-products, affect the yield and selectivity of the product, but may also cause punching accidents or even explosions in violent reactions.

• Precise control of reaction time: 

In conventional batch reactions, reactants are usually added gradually to prevent overly intense reactions. However, this method may lead to the reaction time of some materials being too long, which in turn prolongs the residence time of reactants, products or intermediate products under reaction conditions, resulting in by-products and reducing the reaction yield. Microreactor technology enables continuous flow reactions through microtubing, which can precisely control the residence time of materials under reaction conditions. Once the optimal reaction time is reached, the material can be quickly transferred to the next stage of the reaction or terminated reaction, effectively avoiding excessive by-products caused by too long reaction time.

• Materials are mixed evenly in an instant with precise proportions: 

For those rapid reactions that require strict reaction material ratios, if the mixing is not sufficient, it is easy to lead to excessive local ratios, which will produce by-products. This phenomenon is unavoidable in batch reactors. The reaction channels of the microreactor are only tens to thousands of microns, and the materials can be mixed accurately and quickly according to the ratio, effectively reducing the generation of by-products.

• Construction ensures safety: 

Unlike batch reactors, microreactors use a continuous flow reaction, so the amount of chemicals that stay in the reactor is always kept low. Even in the event of a loss of control, its potential harm is very limited. In addition, the excellent heat transfer efficiency of microreactors means that even if a large amount of heat is suddenly released from the reaction, it can be quickly removed, ensuring stable reaction temperature and reducing the chance of safety accidents and quality accidents. As a result, microreactors can easily cope with demanding process requirements and achieve safe and efficient production.

• No amplification effect:

In fine chemical production, batch reactors are often used. Due to the difference in heat and mass transfer efficiency between large production equipment and small test equipment, the scale-up of small test process often needs to go through a period of exploration, and the usual steps are: small test - pilot test - large production. When using microreactor technology for production, process scale-up is not achieved by increasing the size of the microchannels, but by increasing the number of microchannels. Therefore, the optimal reaction conditions in the small test stage can be directly applied to production without adjustment, eliminating the problem of scale-up in traditional batch reactors and significantly shortening the product development cycle.
