High exothermicity, unstable intermediates, high reaction rates are the features that make metallorganic reactions very challenging, especially in commercial operation. No wonder that there is a large interest for the alternative production technology. This paper reviews a research program by Bayer on metallorganic reactions in microreactors. Selected aspects of use of micro-reaction technology for this reaction class are discussed. Two operational issues, i.e. temperature control and clogging are highlighted. Furthermore, the design concept of a MRT based commercial unit and its economics are discussed.

多方微反应器中的金属有机反应

高放热，不稳定的中间体，高反应速率是使金属有机反应非常具有挑战性的特征，尤其是在商业操作中。难怪人们对替代生产技术有很大的兴趣。本文回顾了拜耳关于微反应器中金属有机反应的研究计划。讨论了在此反应类别中使用微反应技术的某些方面。突出了两个操作问题，即温度控制和堵塞。此外，讨论了基于MRT的商业单位的设计概念及其经济学。
