Abstract

Jedan od postupaka izrade milireaktora je aditivna proizvodnja koja omogućuje brzu izradu prototipova. Glavni cilj završnog rada bio je izraditi milireaktore različitih promjera mikrokanala aditivnom proizvodnjom, te provjerom njihove prohodnosti ispitati funkcionalnost samih milireaktora. Izrađeni su milireaktori s kružnim poprečnim presjekom od transparentnog filamenta radi lakše uočljivosti mikrokanala. Neke od prednosti provođenja reakcija u milireaktorima je sigurnost prilikom provođenja procesa te učinkovitiji prijenos tvari i topline, a kao glavni nedostatak smatra se njihov mali volumen. U ovom radu za izradu milireaktora koristio se postupak proizvodnje rastaljenim filamentom koji spada u postupke aditivne proizvodnje. Ovom metodom pokušalo se dobiti različite promjere mikrokanala: 0,3 mm, 0,5 mm, 0,8 mm, 1,0 mm, 1,2 mm i 1,5 mm koji će se kasnije u nastavku istraživanja koristiti za proizvodnju metilnog estera masne kiseline (eng. fatty acid methyl esters, FAME) .

Abstract (english)

One of the processes for making millireactors is additive manufacturing that allows rapid prototyping.The main aim of the final work was to produce millireactors of different microchannel diameters by additive manufacturing, and to check their the functionality. Millireactors with circular cross section of the channel were created. One of the advantages of reaction in the millireactors is the safety during the process and the more efficient heat and mass transfer, and the main disadvantage is their small volume. In this paper, for production of millireactors a fused filament fabrication process was used. This method tried to obtain different microchannel diameters: 0,3 mm, 0,5 mm, 0,8 mm, 1,0 mm, 1,2 mm, and 1,5 mm, which will later be used to produce the fatty acid methyl ester.
