Abstract
This chapter deals with the applications of micromixers. Micromixers play an important role in the chemical industry because of their unique features. The fast mixing process is the key advantage of micromixers. They allow the formation of new products, which are not possible in large-scale reactors. Because of the high demand for applications in chemical and biochemical analysis, most micromixers are designed for the liquid phase. Thus, all these micromixers can be directly used as microreactors for homogeneous liquid phase reactions. In industrial processes, catalytic reactions are carried out heterogeneously. The reactants are usually in liquid or gas phases, while catalysts are in solid phase. Micromixers can control the chemical selectivity, which is the relative tendency to form different products. Micromixers are widely used in chemical, biological, and medical analysis fields. Almost every chemical assay requires mixing of reagents with a sample. Micromixers continue to receive attention of the research community because of the huge potential and impact in chemical analysis and chemical industry.
