Ethylene epoxidation in microwave heated structured reactors

In the present work we show the microwave-induced heating of monolithic reactors containing a thin-layered catalyst that exhibits a strong and selective heating susceptibility under microwave irradiation. The combination of microwave radiation and structured reactors has been successfully applied fo...
