Flow microreactor synthesis in organo-fluorine chemistry

Organo-fluorine compounds are the substances of considerable interest in various industrial fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Despite increased demand in wide fields of science, synthesis of fluoro-organic compounds is still often faced with problems such as the difficulties in handling of fluorinating reagents and in controlling of chemical reactions. Recently, flow ...

Microreactor Technology: Applications in Pharma/Chemical Processing

Stemming from MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical System) developments, designs and fabrication technology, packaged microfluidic chips – used first for biological and chemical analysis (μTAS, Micro Total Analysis Systems) – were modified to perform chemical syntheses (1). In addition, chip devices for the mixing of miscible or immiscible fluids offered a novel means for the processing of this unit op...

Applications of Microplasmas and Microreactor Technology

During the last decade a number of microcavity plasma devices have been developed. Examples are microhollow cathode (MHC) discharges and cathode boundary layer (CBL) discharges proposed by Schoenbach, capillary plasma electrode (CPE) discharges proposed by Kunhardt and Becker, and micro-structured electrode arrays (MSEs) introduced by Gericke and Penache. Arrays of microplasmas based on silicon...
