Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a microchannel reactor, in particular to a hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrate circulation microchannel reactor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In chemical reactions, incomplete mixing of reaction liquids and inefficient catalytic processes waste a lot of time and energy. There is a reaction active layer around the catalyst, and the reactants in the active layer can react. The liquid phase catalytic reaction process is: diffusion of reactants, adsorption of reactants on the catalyst surface, catalytic reaction to produce products, desorption of products from the catalyst surface, and diffusion of products. In general chemical catalytic reaction processes, the diffusion and adsorption and desorption of reactants and products often take a long time (20-60 minutes), there is a certain distance between the reactants and the catalyst, and many reactant molecules need to "queue" to wait for participation in the reaction. Therefore, if the "distance" can be shortened and the "waiting time" can be reduced, the reaction efficiency can be greatly improved.

[0003] Microfluidics refers to the science and technology involved in systems that use microchannels (tens to hundreds of microns in size) to process or manipulate tiny fluids (volumes from nanoliters to microliters). It is an emerging interdisciplinary subject involving chemistry, fluid physics, new materials, biology, and biomedical engineering. The behavior of fluids in microchannels of microfluidics is different from that in macroscale channels. These fluid behaviors (phenomena) are not only important features and signs of microfluidics, but also convenient and unique technical means. The main fluid phenomena are laminar flow and droplet behavior manipulation. With these unique fluid phenomena, microfluidics can achieve a series of micromachining and micromanipulation that are difficult to accomplish with conventional methods. Through the microfluidic method, the "distance" between reactants and catalysts can be effectively shortened, and the "waiting time" of reactants can be reduced, which can greatly improve the reaction efficiency.

[0004] Traditional methods for preparing microfluidic microchannels are mostly laser etching, 3D printing, atomic layer deposition, etc. These methods can quickly and accurately prepare controllable micro-nano structures, which are of great significance for the device application of functional materials. However, these methods are costly and time-consuming. For example, laser etching (including mask preparation and etching) takes several weeks to prepare micro-nano structures, and also involves the use of photoresist, a material with high environmental pollution. Scribing is a low-cost, fast (1-5 hours depending on the complexity of the structure), and pollution-free method for preparing micro-nano structures, with an accuracy of up to (20±5) microns, which meets the requirements of most micro-nano structure processing.

[0005] In recent years, micro-template nanoprinting technology has been able to achieve cross-scale printing and manufacturing of multiple functional materials, and has been applied in the fields of wearable electronics, flexible displays, micro-nano circuits, etc. The micro-template printing is used to control the combination of functional material droplets and self-assembly, and the characteristic pattern structure on the micro-template is used to induce orderly shrinkage molding, so that the characteristic size of the final printed and assembled micro-nano pattern can be much smaller than the characteristic pattern on the micro-template. It is an effective micro-nano material processing method. Summary of the invention

[0068] In the present invention, under the same first region and evaporation conditions, the smaller the cross-sectional area of ​​the fluid channel region in the microchannel region, the faster the reaction liquid flow rate.

[0069] The present invention can control the spreading behavior of droplets by manufacturing hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions with regional differences in wettability. By designing the spacing structure of the first hydrophilic region and the hydrophobic region, the droplets can be effectively divided when the liquid just enters, forming a phenomenon in which there are droplets in the hydrophilic region and no droplets in the hydrophobic region. The driving force of the droplets in the hydrophilic region comes from the gradient Laplace pressure inside the droplets, and the continuous change of its physical form enables liquid self-transport on the one-dimensional conical structure. The axial force generated by the different curvature pressures at both ends of the conical capillary drives the wettable droplets to move toward the narrow mouth, that is, to flow toward the microchannel area.

The technology of the present invention is simple and fast, flexible and easy to use, and is applicable to a variety of catalytic reactions and reactors of various forms, and is convenient for large-scale production. The miniaturization and high efficiency of the catalytic reaction make it have strong application value in the safe chemical industry, green chemical industry, and efficient chemical industry.

Figure 8In the figure, h is the longest width of the fluid channel area 22, i is the shortest width of the fluid channel area 22, j is the height of the fluid channel area 22, and k is the average width of the micro wall. Take a two-inch single-sided polished silicon wafer, load a blade with a thickness of 25 microns on a dicing machine, set the planned slice depth to 20 microns, and the dicing spacing to 60, 80 or 100 microns, respectively, and divide the polished surface of the two-inch silicon wafer into a groove structure with a depth of 20 microns, a width of 20 microns, and a center spacing of 60, 80 or 100 microns. After the silicon wafer is subjected to plasma surface treatment (air conditions, 200W, 300s), it is placed in a vacuum dryer containing 20 microliters of trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane, evacuated, and kept at 90°C for 30 minutes for hydrophobic treatment to prepare a modified silicon wafer.

Cut the above PDMS micro-wall template into 0.4 cm×0.4 cm square pieces, that is, the plane area of ​​the microchannel area is 0.4 cm×0.4 cm.

[0111] Example 4

[0112] A hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterned substrate circulation microchannel reactor, such as Fig. 20 As shown, the reactor comprises a first region 1 and a microchannel region 2 arranged side by side, and the first region 1 and the microchannel region 2 are connected;

[0113] The first region 1 comprises a first hydrophilic region 11 and a hydrophobic region 12 which are arranged in sequence and at intervals; along the direction of liquid flow, the first hydrophilic region 11 has a trapezoidal structure;

[0114] The microchannel area 2 includes microwalls 21 and a fluid channel area 22 that are arranged in sequence. The first hydrophilic area 11 and the hydrophobic area 12 are both connected to the fluid channel area 22. A nanocatalyst layer is also provided on the surface of the fluid channel area 22. The nanocatalyst is TiO2 nanoparticles, and the thickness of the nanocatalyst layer is 0.5-2nm.

[0115] When the liquid flows through the first region 1 and the microchannel region 2, it is in a circular flow.

[0116] The center spacing between adjacent micro-walls is 60 microns, 80 microns or 100 microns. The average width k of each micro-wall is the same, which is 20 microns. The height of the micro-wall is 25 microns.

[0117] Wherein, the material of the micro-wall has the meaning as described in the above embodiment 3.

[0118] The material of the first hydrophilic region 11 and the material of the hydrophobic region 21 both have the above meanings.

[0119] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the reactor further comprises a second region 3, the microchannel region 2 is located between the first region 1 and the second region 3, and the second region 3 is a second hydrophilic region.

[0120] The material of the second hydrophilic area is the same as that of the first hydrophilic area 11 .

[0121] In this embodiment, the fluid channel area 22 is formed between adjacent micro-walls 21 .

[0122] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, Fig.19 As shown, the first region 1 includes a liquid inlet region 4 and a liquid injection region 5; the liquid inlet region 4 is used for liquid to enter the reactor. The liquid injection region 4 and the liquid inlet region 5 are arranged side by side, and the liquid inlet region 4 is close to the microchannel region 2; the liquid inlet region 4 and the liquid injection region 5 together form the first region 1.

[0123] The liquid inlet area 4 includes a first hydrophilic area 11 and a hydrophobic area 12 which are arranged in sequence and at intervals.

[0124] The liquid injection area 5 includes a first hydrophilic area 11 and a hydrophobic area 12 which are arranged in sequence and at intervals.

[0125] Example 5

[0126] A 1 mg / mL green fluorescent microsphere (particle size 500 nm) aqueous solution was prepared for use. The microchannel reactors with fluid channel areas of 50, 70, and 90 micrometers in width were prepared by the method of Example 3. 0.5-1 microliter of 1 mg / mL green fluorescent microsphere (particle size 500 nm) aqueous solution was dripped into the channel opening of the reactor respectively from one end of the injection area, and the reactor was observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope. The results are as follows: Fig.10 As shown, a droplet is dripped into the injection area 5, and when the droplet contacts the liquid inlet area, the droplet spreads along the first hydrophilic area 11 to form a triangular micro-droplet; when the droplet contacts the entrance of the fluid channel area 22, it quickly flows into the fluid channel area 22 under the action of capillary force. When the fluid channel area 22 connected to the first hydrophilic area 11 is filled with liquid, the Laplace pressure generated by the curved liquid surface of the micro-droplet continues to push the liquid forward, and liquid continuously flows out of the outlet of the fluid channel area 22. When the outflowing liquid contacts the empty fluid channel areas 22 corresponding to the hydrophobic areas on both sides, it flows back again under the action of capillary force. After filling the fluid channel area 22, the outflowing liquid flows from the hydrophobic area with low adhesion to the hydrophilic area with high adhesion, forming a reflux cycle. As shown Fig. 20 As shown, in the fluid channel area connected to the first hydrophilic area, the liquid flows in the positive direction, and in the fluid channel area connected to the hydrophobic area, the liquid flows in the negative direction.

[0127] When all the fluid channel areas are filled with liquid, the fluid flow rates of the fluid channel areas 22 with widths of 50, 70, and 90 microns in the microchannel reactor are measured respectively, and the flow rates are calculated based on the particle movement. The test method is as follows: Fig.11 The timing starts from the random position of the fluorescent microsphere in the fluid channel area and ends at any position in the fluid channel area. The test results are shown in Table 1. By comparison, it can be seen that the narrower the width of the fluid channel area 22, the faster the flow rate (the flow rate is fastest in the 50 micron fluid channel area).

[0131] Comparative Example 1

[0132] The difference between the microchannel reactor of Comparative Example 1 and the TiO2 microchannel reactor of Example 3 is that the substrate of Comparative Example 1 is a fully hydrophilic non-patterned aluminum sheet substrate; the rest of the structure is the same as the TiO2 microchannel reactor of Example 3.

[0133] The preparation method of the fully hydrophilic non-patterned aluminum sheet substrate is the same as the preparation method of the substrate containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterns described in Example 1, except that the mask used in the fully hydrophilic non-patterned aluminum sheet substrate is a mask of a fully light-transmitting area.

[0134] The microchannel reactor of Comparative Example 1 was prepared according to the TiO2 microchannel reactor method of Example 3 (the widths of the fluid channel regions were 50, 70, and 90 microns, respectively). Fig.12 As shown, Fig.12 In the embodiment, the substrate is a fully hydrophilic non-patterned aluminum sheet substrate.

[0135] The flow rate is measured by the method of Example 5, and the test results are shown in Table 2. By comparison, it can be seen that in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterned substrate circulation microchannel reactor of the present application, the fluid flow rate is significantly higher than the microchannel reactor of the non-hydrophilic and hydrophobic pattern in Comparative Example 1, and the flow rates in the channels of 50, 70, and 90 microns are increased by 4.3, 4.6, and 2.5 times, respectively. The segmentation of the droplets by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic pattern substrate effectively increases the flow rate in the channel. This is because in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterned circulation microchannel reactor, the droplets are spread only on the micro first hydrophilic area before entering the fluid channel area, forming a curved liquid surface with a smaller radius of curvature of the micro droplets, which produces a larger Laplace pressure to push the liquid forward. In the microchannel reactor of the non-hydrophobic and hydrophobic patterned substrate, the droplets are freely spread before entering the microchannel, the liquid surface has a large radius of curvature, and the Laplace pressure is small. The liquid flow is driven mainly by the evaporation of the liquid at the outlet, so the flow rate is relatively small.

[0138] Comparative Example 2

[0139] The method for preparing a substrate containing a hydrophilic and hydrophobic pattern is as described in Example 1, except that a linear mask (film) plate (such as Fig.13 As shown in FIG. 2 , each first hydrophilic region in Comparative Example 2 has a rectangular cross section. A linear hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned aluminum substrate is obtained, and the infiltration of deionized water thereon is shown in FIG. Fig.14 shown.

[0140] A linear hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrate microchannel reactor was prepared according to the method of Example 3, and a liquid flow behavior test was performed on the linear hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned substrate microchannel reactor according to the method of Example 5. The test process is as follows: Fig.15 As shown, when the droplet is in the stripe-shaped hydrophilic pattern area, there is no driving force to drive the droplet to move to the right into the microchannel.

[0141] Test Example 1

[0142] The aluminum sheet substrate containing the hydrophilic and hydrophobic pattern in Example 1 was subjected to a heat resistance test.

[0143] The hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterned aluminum substrate obtained in Example 1 was placed on a hot plate and heated. The contact angle of the hydrophilic area was measured every 15 minutes to observe the change in the substrate wettability during the heating process and test its heat resistance. During the heating process, the hydrophilicity of the exposed area of ​​the aluminum sheet was lost to a certain extent, but the aluminum sheet substrate remained relatively hydrophilic when heated at 120°C and 160°C for 60 minutes, and the wettability was greatly different from that of the unexposed area, and the droplets could still be split. The results are shown in Figure 2. Fig.16 As shown in Table 3. The hydrophilic-hydrophobic patterned aluminum substrate has good heat resistance.
