ABSTRACT
The paper discusses the currents status and future perspectives of the utilization of microwaves, as a selective and locally controlled heating method, in heterogeneous catalytic flow reactors. Various factors related to the microwave-catalyst interaction and the design of microwave-assisted catalytic reactor systems are analyzed. The analysis clearly shows the superiority of the traveling-wave systems over the mono-mode and multi-mode cavity-based systems when it comes to the design and application of microwave flow reactors at relevant production scales.
