Abstract

We have developed an effective microfluidic system for hydrogenation reactions in scCO2; the reactions proceeded very rapidly (within 1 second), by making the best use of scCO2 and utilizing the large specific interfacial area of the microchannel reactor, and high reaction productivity was attained in each channel.
