A microfluidic reactor enabled continuous co-precipitation synthesis of CuO/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 catalysts for methanol production.

We use Attainable Region (AR) techniques to generate reactor network synthesis solutions to the WGS reaction system. We do this using the conventional method as described by Nicol et al. (1997) to generate the candidate AR (AR) for exothermic reversible reactions in three dimensions. We compare the results with two other automated techniques, namely: the isostate algorithm (Rooney et al. 2000) ...

The continuous synthesis of biodegradable photothermal copper sulfide nanoparticles has been carried out with the aid of a microfluidic platform. A comparative physicochemical characterization of the resulting products from the microreactor and from a conventional batch reactor has been performed. The microreactor is able to operate in a continuous manner and with a 4-fold reduction in the synt...

The synthesis of products through biotechnological process presents important advantages compared to chemical and petrochemical via. This is mainly because they make it possible to discover and explore innumerable routes of obtaining products with high aggregate value with very low environmental impact. The purpose of this work is the development of a deterministic model for biotechnological sy...

To develop new reactor options for thermal cracking of ethane or other light hydrocarbons to lower olefins a fundamental process synthesis approach is taken. Firstly, an optimal reaction path and conditions are targeted, starting from a mechanistic reaction network. Secondly, to implement the optimal reaction path the reactor geometry and equipment are designed. This contribution focuses on the...

A method for immobilization of β-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis on an adsorptive membrane for the continuous synthesis of galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose was carried out. The immobilization was performed at 4, 10, 15 and 40°C. Two strongly basic anion exchange membranes with tradename MustangQ and SartobindQ were investigated. In static experiments, the highest enzyme activity wa...
