1P1-C05 Shaking Catalytic Particles Promoting Chemical Reactions : 3^<rd> report : Electromagnetic shaking in liquid phase

Abstract

Recently, micro reactors have been developed in chemical engineering. The goal of this research is to develop devices to promote chemical reactions physically by shaking catalytic particles in liquid. While catalytic particles were driven in gas by electrostatic force in previous research, they can't be driven in liquid. To increase driving force and to drive catalytic particles in liquid, driving method was changed from electrostatic drive to electromagnetic drive. Magnetic field condition was analyzed by FEM and the device was designed based on it. Using the prototype device makes catalytic particles driven both in gas and liquid. The effectiveness in liquid chemistry of the device was shown with the experiments of stirring marbling solutions in water.
