1. A reactor, which is supplied with a reactant to cause a reaction of the reactant, the reactor comprising:
a reaction device which comprises a hollow box member having a top plate and a bottom plate opposed to each other and side plates connected to an edge of the top plate and an edge of the bottom plate;
a partition member housed in the box member, the partition member coming into contact with at least internal faces of the side plates of the box member and partitioning a space in the box member into a plurality of reaction chambers to which the reactant is to be supplied; and
a penetrating region provided in the partition member to connect adjacent reaction chambers to each other, the penetrating region being adapted to have the reactant passed therethrough,
wherein the partition member comprises a first partition plate and a plurality of second partition plates arranged perpendicularly with respect to the first partition plate and in parallel to each other; and
wherein the second partition plates are combined with the first partition plate at slots formed in at least one of the first partition plate and the second partition plates.
