Introduction to Droplet-Based Millifluidic Chemistry Using a Macroscopic-Droplet Generator
Vié, Clotilde; Fattaccioli, Jacques; Jacq, Philippe
Journal of Chemical Education, p96 n4 p797-800 Apr 2019
This activity introduces droplet-based millifluidics and the usage of aqueous droplets as independent chemical microreactors for reaction-kinetics studies. Students build their own droplet generators from common macroscopic glassware and connecting parts to create trains of millimeter-sized droplets in which a redox reaction takes place. The activity allows students to work on reaction kinetics, hydrodynamics at low Reynolds numbers, and image analysis at the macroscopic scale.
