Reaction Screening Using a Microreactor

Capillary-based Microreactor for Screening Peptide Catalysts in the Aldol Reaction

Reaction-Diffusion Dynamics in a Microreactor - Theoretical Study

In the last decade, Microreactor Technology (MRT) as a new concept in chemical engineering has demonstrated the advantages of microstructured devices for chemical reactions impressively. Microscale reactors are devices whose operations depend on precisely controlled design features with characteristic dimensions from submillimeter to submicrometer. Due to the small amount of chemicals needed an...

Biodiesel production from soybean oil using ionic liquid as a catalyst in a microreactor

In the present study, Choline hydroxide (ChOH) as an ionic liquid catalyst was used for transesterification of soybean oil into biodiesel in a microchannel reactor. The effects of three variables i.e. reaction temperature, catalyst dosage and total flow rate on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content (wt. %) were optimized using Box–Behnken experimental design. In order to predict the FAME conte...

Analysis of photocatalytic reactions using a TiO(2) immobilized microreactor.

We have developed an analysis system for photocatalytic reactions, which utilizes a TiO(2) immobilized micro-capillary and a detection technique for dye concentration at arbitrary positions. In this study, we investigated the reaction processes for the photocatalytic decomposition of rhodamine 6G. This system allows the distinction of direct and secondary photocatalytic reactions under the same...

An anodic aromatic C,C cross-coupling reaction using parallel laminar flow mode in a flow microreactor.

We have successfully demonstrated an efficient anodic aromatic C,C cross-coupling reaction using parallel laminar flow mode in a two-inlet flow microreactor. The model reaction proceeded effectively even in single flow-through operations and the desired cross-coupling product was obtained in much higher current yields compared to the reaction in a conventional batch type cell.
