Peracetic acid is one of the most essential organic solvents used in many chemical, pharmaceutical, food industries so on. There is an increasing demand for peracetic acid due to its versatile oxidative property. A continuous flow microstructured reactor techniques have been efficiently employed for the formation of peracetic acid using a homogeneous catalyst (sulfuric acid). In the experiments, the formation of peracetic acid was carried out at different molar ratios, three different configurations of microreactors, catalyst concentration and temperature. Three different configurations of a serpentine capillary microreactor, Corning® Advanced Flow^TM Reactor, and helical capillary microreactor were compared for the formation of peracetic acid. Among these three microreactors, helical capillary microreactor has shown the maximum conversion of acetic acid in lesser time. The reaction is slow because the equilibrium reaches within 9 minutes at 60 ^°C and 12 mol % catalyst in 13.25 mm radius of curvature microreactor with the maximum concentration of peracetic acid achieved (3.751 mol/L (X_AA = 62.21%)). The kinetic expressions of peracetic acid formation and hydrolysis were developed and the constants of the kinetic model were calculated. The activation energies (E_a) of peracetic acid formation and hydrolysis were 45.536 and 49.236 kJ/mol respectively. The equilibrium constant (K_e) was determined as 2.971, 2.838, 2.711, 2.590 and 2.475 at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ^°C respectively.

过氧乙酸是许多化学，制药，食品工业等中使用的最重要的有机溶剂之一。由于过乙酸具有通用的氧化性能，因此对过乙酸的需求不断增加。连续流微结构化反应器技术已被有效地用于使用均相催化剂（硫酸）形成过乙酸。在实验中，过乙酸的形成是在不同的摩尔比，微反应器的三种不同构型，催化剂浓度和温度下进行的。蛇形毛细管微反应器的三种不同配置，Corning®Advanced Flow ^TM比较了反应器和螺旋毛细管微反应器中过乙酸的形成。在这三个微反应器中，螺旋毛细管微反应器在较短的时间内显示出最大的乙酸转化率。反应缓慢是因为在60 ^° C和12 mol％的催化剂中，在13.25 mm曲率半径的微反应器中，在9分钟内达到平衡，并且过乙酸的最大浓度达到（3.751 mol / L（X _AA = 62.21％））。建立了过乙酸形成和水解的动力学表达式，并计算了动力学模型的常数。过乙酸形成和水解的活化能（E _a）分别为45.536和49.236 kJ / mol。平衡常数（K _e）分别在20、30、40、50和60 ^° C下确定为2.971、2.838、2.711、2.590和2.475 。
