The present invention relates to a modular reactor system for carrying out processes comprising mixing, chemical reactions, heat exchange and/or separations, the reactor system comprising of at least one additive manufactured module, the module each performing at least one process unit operation, and optionally, an external housing.

A fiber bundle contactor may include: a flow path defined by a conduit; a catalytic carbon fiber bundle disposed in the conduit; and an inlet allowing fluid flow into the flow path. A method may include: introducing into vessel a hydrocarbon comprising mercaptan sulfur, an aqueous caustic solution, and an oxidizer; reacting at least a portion of the mercaptan sulfur and the aqueous caustic solution to produce a mercaptide; and reacting the mercaptide and the oxidizer in the presence of a catalytic carbon fiber bundle to produce a disulfide oil.

The present disclosure provides a supercritical fluid gasification system. In some embodiments, the system includes a reactor having a reactor shell including sidewalls that extend between a top reactor cover and a bottom reactor cover, where the sidewalls, the top cover, and the bottom cover enclosing a reactor shell channel. In some embodiments, the reactor includes a thermal shield positioned within the reactor shell channel, the thermal shield having sidewalls that extend between a top thermal shield cover and a bottom thermal shield cover, where the sidewalls, the top thermal shield cover, and the bottom thermal shield cover enclosing a thermal shield channel. In some embodiments, the reactor includes a fluid feed supply conduit in fluid communication with the thermal shield channel, a supercritical fluid conduit in fluid communication with the thermal shield channel, and a product conduit in fluid communication with the thermal shield channel.

A fluidized bed reactor designed for in situ gas phase impregnation. The reactor comprises a tube with an upstream zone and a downstream zone, the upstream zone and the downstream zone being separated by a separation filter. A method for a controlled-deposition of a sublimated precursor onto a fluidized solid support. The method is remarkable in that it is carried out in situ within the tube of the fluidized bed reactor in accordance with the fluidized bed reactor.

A reactor for converting hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen gas and sulfur.

A reactive process for converting hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen gas and sulfur and a reactor for effecting such process.

The present invention disclosed an efficient, continuous flow process for the synthesis metal nanowires by using a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTRs) in series for varying the aspect ratio of metal nanowires and nanorods formed by feeding affixed quantities of metal salt and polymeric surfactant with a reducing solvent like glycol to an axially mixed reactor.

The present disclosure is related to processes for the alkylation of an isoparaffin. The process may include introducing, in a multistage reactor, a solid acid catalyst including a zeolite to an isoparaffin feed and an olefin feed to form an alkylation product mixture including C5+ olefins. The processes may further include separating at least a portion of the C5+ olefins from the alkylation product mixture to form an oligomer light stream. The present disclosure further relates to multistage reactors for the alkylation of an isoparaffin with an olefin. The multistage reactors may include a plurality of stages, and a plurality of separation systems. The multistage reactors may also include an outlet space coupling each stage to a separation system and an inlet space coupling a separation system to a subsequent stage.
