ABSTRACT
There are a number of different reactor systems which can be used to evaluate catalysts and optimize catalytic reactions, but most of the commercially available units are rather large. Reactions run in these systems, because of their size, usually need large amounts of catalyst and substrate so they are not very economical. Further, the time needed for reactor cooling, product removal and recharging for multiple use of the same catalyst can be rather long. It would seem that a more facile approach would be to use smaller reactors for these purposes.
