• [23] or a static mixer [24]. Slug-flow is a simple method for passive mixing, but the formation of slug-flow depends on the tube diameter [23], and the reaction rate decreases as the tube diameter increases [25][26]. The gas–liquid biphasic reaction also displays the same characteristic, and a static

• mixer needs to be developed to enable more robust aerobic oxidation under continuous-flow conditions. A static mixer is generally used by inserting it into a tube reactor. In the gas-liquid biphasic flow reaction, the static mixer has to be inserted into the full range of the tube reactor to maintain

As the gas–liquid reaction mixture passes through the honeycomb reactor, the porous material functions as a static mixer, maintaining high mixing efficiency throughout the aerobic oxidation process. We believe that this processing technology offers much potential for application as a flow

Consequently, we evaluated a static mixer to improve the flow distribution in the packed bed [40][41][42]. The residence time distribution (RTD) of the reactor was measured via a pulsed tracer experiment
