Catalytic decomposition of the ethyl mercaptan over an H-ZSM-5 zeolite in a newly designed microreactor was undertaken in this study. A numerically developed distributor possessing superior flow distribution was amended to 24 parallel microchannels with 64 mm length, 700 $\mu m$ width, and 600 $\mu m$ depth. Ethyl mercaptan complete conversion required 350 $°C$ through the developed microreactor while in a conventional fixed-bed-reactor 400 $°C$ was needed. Higher selectivity towards the main products of this decomposition (hydrogen sulfide and ethylene) were observed in this microreactor in comparison to that of a fixed-bed-reactor. In addition, lower selectivity towards formation of byproducts was displayed in the former. Investigation of the WHSV variations upon the product distribution through this microreactor revealed that, conversion of the ethyl mercaptan was reduced to 60 from the 89% through enhancement of the feed rate from 0.32 to 0.48 h⁻¹.

在新设计的微反应器中，在H-ZSM-5沸石上进行了乙硫醇的催化分解。将具有优越流量分布的数字化分配器修改为长度为64 mm，700的24个平行微通道$\mu 米$ 宽度和600 $\mu 米$深度。乙硫醇完全转化需要350$摄氏$ 通过开发的微反应器，而在常规固定床反应器400中 $摄氏$是需要的。与固定床反应器相比，在该微反应器中观察到对这种分解的主要产物（硫化氢和乙烯）具有更高的选择性。另外，在前者中显示出较低的形成副产物的选择性。对通过该微反应器的产物分布的WHSV变化的研究表明，通过将进料速率从0.32h提高到0.48h ^-1，乙基硫醇的转化率从89％降低到60％。
