C-Tech Innovation has developed a large scale continuous flow microwave reactor that is capable of producing .10 kg of product per working day. The reactor has been trialled using a wide range of reactions that are applicable to a variety of industrial sectors and has demonstrated a significant reduction in reaction times and increase in reaction yields. Some examples of the work carried out in...

Multiplicity of steady states was experimentally obser®ed, somewhat sporadically, for ( ) Fischer Tropsch FT synthesis in stirred tank slurry reactors in the reactor originally ( ) at the wax-producing normal steady state suddenly jumping to a high-temperature ( ) methane-producing steady state for some time and e®entually returning to the normal steady state. A diagnostic nonlinear analysis sh...

The chemicals used for the NPs synthesis are TetraEthylOrthoSilicate (TEOS), l-Arginine, chloride acid 0.1M and ethanol. They were supplied by Aldrich and used as received. High-purity deionized water (18.2 M.cm) was produced using Millipore Milli-Q Gradient system. The synthesis follows the same protocol as in our previous work [1]. It is performed in a 2000 ml reactor thermostated with hot wa...

An assembled suite of flow-based transformations have been used to rapidly scale-up the production of a novel auxin mimic-based herbicide which was required for preliminary field trials. The overall synthetic approach and optimisation studies are described along with a full description of the final reactor configurations employed for the synthesis as well as the downstream processing of the rea...

By examining the process of heat transfer at tubular reactor for LD-PE synthesis, it can be concluded that free electrons exists during polymerization. Additionally, no free electrons occur in the absence of polymerization. A model that can explain and describe this behavior of ethylene under high pressure is the semiconductor model.

Cascade Optimisation Algorithm (COPT) has been implemented on computer grid. The series of experiments, especially ones on reactor network synthesis for biocatalytic application, demonstrated better suitability of COPT for parallel execution than conventional stochastic algorithms, in particular TABU Search model, with execution time used as a measure of performance.

Highly productive: Grafted monolith silica skeleton microreactors process bulky molecules more efficiently than a batch mode reactor. This efficiency is due to a higher contact area, shorter diffusion path, and lower inhibition by products in the thin monolith skeleton. These materials provide a new approach in the field of heterogeneous catalysis for the synthesis of fine chemicals.

We present a one-pot microwave synthesis of Pd modified titanium dioxide nanocrystals for macroscopic aerogel monoliths, which are efficient visible-light photocatalysts methanol oxidation in heated gas flow reactor.

Tetrazoles are an important class of heterocycles in a wide range of applications, such as, organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis, propellants, explosives, and perhaps most commonly, as nonclassical isosteres of carboxylic acids in medicinal chemistry. This broad utility has prompted significant effort toward tetrazole synthesis, and notable among these is that of Sharpless, in which a...

Several microfluidic reactors were designed and applied to the synthesis of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). Initially, a simple single-phase capillary reactor was used for the synthesis of CdSe NCs. Precursors were delivered into a section of the capillary maintained at high temperature where they decomposed and reacted to form NCs. Monodisperse, bright CdSe NC samples were prepared...
