Recently,　the　application　of　continuous　reaction　technology　for　the　production　of　fine　chemicals　has　expanded　significantly.　Despite　the　increasing　interest　in　continuous　flow　manufacturing,　most　industries　continue　to　use　multipurpose　batch　or　semi-batch　reactors.　In　this　work,　the　utilization　of　a　continuous　oscillatory　ow　reactor(OFR)　for　heterogeneous　catalysis　is　demonstrated　by　conducting　a　typical　acetylation　reaction　(the　acetylation　of　camphene)　Parallel　experiments　was　also　performed　in　a　batch　stirred　tank　reactor　(BSTR),　and　the　results　were　compared　with　those　obtained　in　the　OFR.　The　temperature　inside　the　OFR　was　uniform　than　that　inside　the　BSTR,　and　the　residence　time　distribution　in　the　former　system　was　close　to　that　in　a　plug　flow　reactor.　In　addition,　the　OFR　exhibited　higher　reaction　rate　and　selectivity　values　than　those　obtained　for　the　BSTR.　Although　the　liquid　was　refreshed　faster　inside　the　OFR　and　no　polymer　residue　was　formed　on　the　catalyst　surface,　its　application　required　the　screening　of　catalysts　grains,　which　increased　the　probability　of　surface　cracking.　The　OFR　for　continuous　flow　catalysis　can　serve　as　a　promising　starting　point　in　the　development　of　new,　low-cost,　and　more　efficient　reactors　for　the　synthesis　of　pharmaceuticals　and　other　fine　chemicals.　©　2018　Elsevier　B.V.
