High‐Pressure High‐Temperature Transparent Fixed‐Bed Reactor for Operando Gas‐Liquid Reaction Follow‐up

Developing the reaction kinetics for a biodiesel reactor.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the kinetics of the biodiesel reaction in order to find out how best to reach 96.5% methyl ester. The purity of the biodiesel product was examined using gas chromatography to the EN14214 FAME standard and real-time optical microscopy was used to observe the reaction. The problem was the reaction does not reach completion and the mechanism is not understo...

Isothermal Reactor for Continuous Flow Microwave-Assisted Chemical Reaction*

An isothermal reactor in which reaction solutions can be controlled at constant temperature under constant microwave irradiation was developed. This is useful for investigating microwave effects on chemical reactions that are not observed under conventional heating conditions. We devised a structure in which a heat-transfer medium with a low dielectric loss factor, which hardly absorbs any micr...

HighPressure Equation of State for NaCl, KCl, and CsCl

Articles you may be interested in Electric conductivities of 1:1 electrolytes in liquid methanol along the liquid–vapor coexistence curve up to the critical temperature. A calculation of the equation of state for NaCl from a Mie-Grlineisen equation was repeated using more accurate values of the zero-pressure compressibility. It was also extended to KCl and CsCl. An analysis of this approach to ...

Microfluidic Reactor for Sequential Operation of Polymerase Chain Reaction/Ligase Detection Reaction

We have developed a microfluidic bioreactor for detecting single base mutations in genomic DNA, where a primary polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and an allelespecific ligation detection reaction (LDR) were conducted in sequence. The effect of carryover from the primary PCR on the subsequent LDR was thoroughly investigated in terms of LDR yield and fidelity, and we found that a post-PCR treatment...
