Claim Text:
1. A continuous reaction micro-reactor of modular structure comprising, arranged along a back-to-front stacking axis thereof, a first frame means, a reaction unit, and a second frame means, wherein: said reaction unit comprises a process fluid channel system for continuous reaction of a plurality of feeds or reactants flowing into said reaction unit to form at least one product flowing out of said reaction unit, a heat exchange fluid channel system for adjusting the temperature environment of said process fluid channel system and a transparent cover plate; said first and second frame means are each formed as a flange; said first and second frame means are pressed towards each other by a plurality of tensioning means arranged along and within an outer circumference of said first and second frame means; said second frame means is configured to allow the process fluid channel system to be inspected via the cover-plate being transparent; said reaction unit can separately be exchanged to adapt it to multifarious technological problems to be investigated and solved; and said process fluid channel system comprises a micro-structure formed into a reaction surface of said reaction unit, said micro-structure comprising open grooves having a bottom defining a depth, the grooves forming the fluid channel system, wherein said open grooves are fluid-tightly covered by said cover plate, leaving inlet and outlet openings for the various feeds and products at side surfaces of the reaction unit.
