Wood-inspired dual-scale directional channel cellulose bioreactors with high mass transfer efficiency for continuous flow catalytic green conversion

Abstract

In recent years, microfluidic bioreactors have become important in chemical production; however, the production cost is high, and it becomes difficult to balance scale, efficiency, and cost. Therefore, a low-cost, efficient, high-delivery-capacity, green-fluid reactor is urgently required. Herein, a cellulose bioreactor with dual-scale directional channels and a porous inner wall is reported for the continuous catalytic conversion of polydatin into resveratrol. The dual-scale directional channel structure endows the reactor with high mass transfer speed and large transport capacity, resulting in fast fluid diffusion rate and more severe “disturbance” inside the reactor. It accelerates the mass transfer state of the whole reaction and further improves the catalytic performance compared to the uniform channel reactor. The reactor can achieve a high conversion rate of 98.58% of resveratrol within 2 h and exhibits excellent stability, owing to which it has broad application prospects in catalytic reactions, and helps derive a new approach for constructing fluid catalysis bioreactors.
