INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR MICROREACTOR GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY

A compact unit has been constructed to control and to supply a microreactor apparatus. Features are an ozone generator, gas flow rotameters, solenoid-operated six-way gas valve and a combination temperature-and-ozone meter. The meter monitors and, by means of a built-in relay, controls reaction temperature. It also affords a visual indication of ozone concentration during reactions. Basic electronic circuits and common laboratory items simplify the unit's construction. Some possible microreactions to which this integrated system may be applied are ozonizationpyrolysis, esterification, transesterification, saponification, reduction and halogenation. © 1969 AOCS Press.
