Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A reactor includes a reaction-side flow passage through which a reaction fluid being a fluid constituting a reaction object flows; a temperature controller (heat-medium side flow passage) configured to heat or cool the reaction fluid from outside the reaction-side flow passage; and a catalyst configured to promote a reaction of the reaction fluid, the catalyst provided in the reaction-side flow passage so that a contact area with the reaction fluid is larger on a downstream side than on an upstream side in the reaction-side flow passage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A reactor comprising: a reaction-side flow passage through which a reaction fluid as a reaction object flows, the reaction-side flow passage being provided with a hollow space having a constant width; a heat-medium side flow passage provided in parallel with the reaction-side flow passage through a heat-transfer partition, provided with a hollow space formed therein through which a heat medium flows, the space of the heat-medium side flow passage having a constant width and extending in a direction parallel to a flow direction of the reaction fluid in the reaction-side flow passage; and a catalyst configured to promote a reaction of the reaction fluid, the catalyst separately formed from the reaction-side flow passage and provided in the reaction-side flow passage so that a cross section of the reaction-side flow passage defined by the catalyst is smaller on a downstream side than on an upstream side in the reaction-side flow passage; wherein the catalyst has a plate shape, the catalyst is divided into a plurality of parts that are arranged away from each other in a flowing direction of the reaction fluid in the reaction-side flow passage, and wherein the catalyst is corrugated. 2. The reactor according to claim 1 , wherein a gas flows as the heat medium in the heat-medium side flow passage. 3. The reactor according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction-side flow passage and the heat-medium side flow passage are alternately stacked. 4. The reactor according to claim 2 , wherein the reaction-side flow passage and the heat-medium side flow passage are alternately stacked.
