Glass-metal Coaxial-waveguide Reactors for On-demand Microwave-assisted
Chemistry
Abstract
This short communication considers the results of developing novel
glass-metal coaxial waveguide reactors. They are designed on the base of
the Liebig condenser, where the central glass channel is occupied by
wire. The outer shield is made of copper foil. A liquid flows between
the central glass tube and the shielded outer pipe, being pumped in and
out through the shielded tubes. The reactors are excited through coaxial
connectors. The developed devices show moderate loss and increased
penetration depth needed for smooth heating of flowing liquids. The
components are studied by measurements and simulations.
