Abstract
A microreactor capable of reducing a pressure drop in an entire system includes a mixerhaving a mixing channel for mixing two kinds of raw materialsand, and a reactorhaving a reaction channel connected to the downstream side of the mixing channel to receive the mixture flowing out from the mixing channel and cause chemical reactions of the mixture inside the reaction channel. The reactora first reactor unithaving a large surface-to-volume (S-V) ratio of the reaction channel at an upstream side, and a second reactor unithaving a small S-V ratio of the reaction channel at a downstream.
