Volume controlled high throughput picoliter droplet generation system using cascade multi-stage separation channel

Abstract Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been employed to manipulate discrete fluid volumes with immiscible phases. Creating the fluid droplets at microscale has led to a paradigm shift in mixing, sorting, encapsulation, sensing, and designing high throughput devices for biomedical applications. Droplet microfluidics has opened many opportunities in microparticle synthesis, molecular detection, diagnostics, drug delivery, and cell biology. In the present review, we first introduce standard methods for droplet generation (i.e., passive and active methods) and discuss the latest examples of emulsification and particle synthesis approaches enabled by microfluidic platforms. Then, the applications of droplet-based microfluidics in different biomedical applications are detailed. Finally, a general overview of the latest trends along with the perspectives and future potentials in the field are provided.

Discrete and Multi-tube Pass Number Inorganic Membrane Reactor offers supplements to single-tube membrane reactor, referencing heat exchanger can provide larger transmission area and plate column can realize multi-stage separation. It realizes the reaction and separation occurs simultaneously many times, and can change the membrane area according to the need, so that reaction and separation process can be matched better. Discrete and multi-tube membrane reactor and fixed bed reactor was experimented in sec-butyl alcohol dehydrogenation system at 150-225, the result shows the new membrane reactor structure is reasonable.
