Fundamentals of Chemical Reactions

The chemical reaction system in the atmosphere is composed of photolysis and homogeneous reactions in the gas phase, and multiphase processes including heterogeneous reactions on particle surfaces. In this chapter, photochemistry and the chemical kinetics of homogeneous and multiphase reactions are described based on the principles of physical chemistry. 

The fundamentals of most chemical reactions are already weU established and several textbooks are cited at the end of this chapter. However, the multiphase heterogeneous reactions given in Sect. 2.4 have attracted more interest in recent years, and as fields of research, they are still developing, so it should be noted that

We first present general criteria for the rational use of MSRs on the basis of fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering [21-24], The main characteristics of MSRs are discussed, and the potential gain in reactor performance relative to that of conventional chemical reactors is quantified (Section 2). Subsequently, the most important designs of fluid-solid and multiphase reaction systems are described and evaluated (Sections 3 and 4). Because microstructured multichannel reactors with catalytically active walls are by far the most extensively investigated MSRs for heterogeneous catalytic reactions, we present their principal design and recent synthetic methods separately in Section 5.
