Sažetak
There is a well-known expression The Bigger, The Better, on which many would agree but when it comes to microreactors it is necessary to make the slight modification and say The Smaller, The Better. Reduction in reactor size emerged in many positive effects on many chemical and biochemical reactions. Faster reactions, smaller usage of reaction components, smaller amount of waste streams, safer reaction conditions, easier process manipulation etc. are just some of the advantages of microreactors. The aim of this review is to present microreactor technology in a simple way and to show its basic characteristics such as structure, advantages and disadvantages, types and general application.
