要旨

Catalytic static mixers, 3D printed from nickel alloys, were treated with etching or leaching solutions to activate their surfaces for use in hydrogenation of alkenes, aldehydes and nitro-groups. Their performance was benchmarked against industrial standard alumina catalysts, using a tubular continuous flow reactor. These novel structured catalysts were additively manufactured from printer-grade Monel and Inconel powders. Especially the Monel-type catalysts, consisting predominantly of nickel and copper by weight, presented a surface layer significantly enriched in nickel after the leaching protocol, which resulted in a high catalytic activity and a surprising selectivity towards unsubstituted double bonds.

Reaction Chemistry & Engineering is an interdisciplinary journal reporting cutting-edge research focused on enhancing the understanding and efficiency of reactions. Reaction engineering leverages the interface where fundamental molecular chemistry meets chemical engineering and technology. Challenges in chemistry can be overcome by the application of new technologies, while engineers may find improved solutions for process development from the latest developments in reaction chemistry. Reaction Chemistry & Engineering is a unique forum for researchers whose interests span the broad areas of chemical engineering and chemical sciences to come together in solving problems of importance to wider society. All papers should be written to be approachable by readers across the engineering and chemical sciences. Papers that consider multiple scales, from the laboratory up to and including plant scale, are particularly encouraged.
