Abstract
A reactor for carrying out a reaction between at least two fluids comprises a reactor plate () with a plurality of grooves or through slots () in which the fluids mix and react and a separable overlying reservoir plate () for supplying the fluids to slots () from reservoirs () via slots (), (), with a collecting conduit or reservoir () and slots ()for the product of the reaction. Reservoir plate () may lie between two reactor plates, or a single reactor plate () may lie between two reservoir plates. Third or further reservoirs may or may not be spaced from the second reservoir () depending on whether more than two fluids need to be present simultaneously, or whether a second reaction is required after the first two fluids have had time to react. Means may be provided for controlling the pressure in slots (), the pressure differential (and flow rate) along slot (), and/or the temperature in the reservoirs () or slots (). Multiple reactors may be coupled in parallel/series for scaling up or for performing plural or progressive reactions (such as perfluorination).
