Abstract:
1. An apparatus for carrying out a reaction for the formation of hydrogen peroxide comprising: a first channel adapted to carry an oxidant stream comprising an oxidant; a second channel adapted to carry a hydrogen source stream comprising a hydrogen source; and a plurality of shims stacked on top of one another in a permanent orientation that cooperate to define a height, a width, and a length for a plurality of first microchannels downstream from an M2M manifold in fluid communication with the first channel, the plurality of first microchannels each including a catalyst section at least partially containing a catalyst adapted to facilitate a reaction between the hydrogen source and the oxidant to generate hydrogen peroxide; the plurality of shims also cooperating to define a height, a width, and a length a plurality of second microchannels downstream from an M2M manifold in fluid communication with the second channel, the plurality of second microchannels directed into fluid communication with the plurality of first microchannels prior to the catalyst section.
