Problem Cascading several reactions into one creates an opportunity to simplify product synthesis and reduce the number of unit-operations. In this regard, we investigated the synthesis of an imine followed by its hydrogenation into amine. The reaction cascade...
Problem A major company was developing a novel reactor and required synthesis of thermally-conductive catalyst-coated tubes. These reactors applied to a gas-phase process would minimise heat and mass transfer compared to powdered catalyst. The resulting benefits...
Problem Batch reactors are versatile and have decades’ worth of process development, however, they suffer from low-labour efficiency and low space time yields due to discontinuous operation and slow mass transfer rates. Continuous flow operation allows for enhanced...
