The chances are you will have come into contact with at least one of these today: the ingredients in your tooth paste, soap, plastic. Many of us don’t give too much thought to where they come from. A lot of these things are manufactured in chemical reactors. Daniel...
Dr Sam Adams from Stoli Catalysts discusses why the batch technology dominates, introduce the flow chemistry, and discuss problems & opportunities in switching to flow. Flow chemistry is not new In fact it has been around for over 400 years. This picture comes...
Most chemical reactions release heat and many require accurate thermal control to maintain an optimum temperature. It is not only a question of safety and preventing reaction runaway, it is often a question of product yield and quality. The Michael addition of amines...
Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors or CSTRs for short, are the most basic continuous reactors used in chemical processes. In this video, Dr Joe Socci, will be giving an overview of CSTRs and how they differ to simpler batch reactors. How does batch reactors work? CSTRs...
In this overview video, we discuss the pros and cons of a stirred batch reactor. Flexibility, scalability, reaction control, energy efficiency and catalyst lifetime are the parameters that are compared in our subjective view. How does batch reactors work? Batch, or...
We study the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy for online analysis of hydrogenation processes and investigate the effects of environmental and instrumental parameters. These parameters are fundamental in producing reliable data but cannot easily be found in...
