We have recently completed studies using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) on the B18 beamline provided by the Diamond Light Source Facility. Here we spent an exciting 24 hours taking in-situ measurements to understand the behaviour the catalyst.
By analysing the X-ray signal we were able to determine the changes in chemical form of the active species of our customers’ catalyst over a range of temperatures at which the catalyst would normally operate.
For more information on this particular case study and how we may be able to help you with a similar problem please see the case study.
Collaboration with iDMT
Slurry hydrolysis in flow project started with iDMT labs
Plug flow (tubular) reactor
Tubular reactors (incorrectly, “plug flow”) – the simplest continuous reactors. See Daniel Lambden’s overview of the tubular reactors.
SABRe is available in Hastelloy
Stainless steel 316L is good in corrosive environments but halogens corrode it quickly. Nickel-based Hastelloy C 276 is much more stable.
How to calculate heat transfer in continuous flow applications
Continuous flow (such as micro-reactors) are superior for exothermic reactions. How do you compute the thermal performance of a reactor?
Maximising interfacial gas-liquid area with Scalable Agitated Baffle Reactor (SABRe)
How the SABRE system provides large gas-liquid area to maximise the reaction throughput and selectivity.
Comparison of continuous reactors in enzymatic esterification
We showed superior performance of SABRe in the enzymatic (liquid-liquid) esterification.
The first in-person event in 2 years!
It was great to see so many people and interest in using SABRe.
How residence time affects product quality in flow chemistry
How residence time is vital for throughput and product quality.
Vapourtec Collaboration
We are excited to be testing our SABRe system at Vapourtec’s lab yesterday!
Gas-liquid mass transfer (kLa) in scalable flow chemistry. Scalable Agitated Baffle Reactor (SABRe)
The gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient is a key parameter in multiphase reactions. We studied it for the SABRe.
Residence time distribution in the Scalable Agitated Baffle Reactor (SABRe)
The SABRe provides precise residnece time control.
