This work aims to explore how micromixing conditions affect nucleation and crystallization of elemental sulfur in microfluidic systems.
Utilized microtube reactors with 90°, 120°, and 180° inlet configurations.
Combined computational fluid dynamics with segregation-index-based micromixing analysis.
Characterized sulfur products based on particle size, morphology, and crystallinity.
Achieved a sulfur productivity increase of 12.3–14.3 times compared to a conventional batch stirred reactor.
Maintained sulfur purity above 99%.
Established that stronger micromixing results in finer, more uniform sulfur particles with higher crystallinity.
