The disclosed invention relates to a process for conducting an equilibrium limited chemical reaction in a microchannel reactor (100). The process involves the use of active heat exchange (130, 132) and is suitable for conducting exothermic and endothermic reactions. The process comprises flowing the reactant composition through at least two reaction zones (116, 118) having a catalytic material (which may be the same or different). The process is particularly suitable for synthesizing methanol and dimethyl ether.

摘要:
A new electroless plating approach to generate a porous metallic coating is described in which a metal is electrolessly deposited on a surface. Microparticles in the metal are removed to leave pores in the metal coating. Another method of forming electroless coatings is described in which a blocking ligand is attached to the surface, followed by a second coating step. The invention includes coatings and coated apparatus formed by methods of the invention. The invention also includes catalyst structures comprising a dense substrate and a porous metal adhered to the dense substrate, which is further characterized by one or more of the specified features.
