Micro Reactor - Continuous Flow Synthesis Technology

Flow chemistry, also known as continuous processing or continuous flow chemistry, begins with two or more streams of separate reactants being fed into a single chamber, tube, or micro-reactor at preset flow rates. A reaction occurs, and the resulting product is collected in the stream at the outflow. To generate the final product, the solution can also be sent to consecutive flow reactor loops. Because very minimal amounts of material are required, process safety is greatly improved.Continuous flow technology's fundamental architecture allows for reaction settings that batch reactions cannot safely accomplish. As a result, the product is of greater quality, has fewer impurities, and has a shorter reaction cycle time.

Types of Flow Reactor

Tubular reactors are steady-state continuous flow vessels that can be used to mix various types ofchemicals. To complete the chemical reactions, it is dependent on the location of the reactants ratherthan the position of time.

  • Pinch Tube
  • Spiral reactor

  • Scale the length and breadth linearly
  • Transfer of heat Area remains fixed regardless of scale
  • With scale, hydrodynamics changes
  • A narrow range of pressure and temperature

  • Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors in series
  • Modular construction
  • Intensity Mixing is required
  • Transfer Issues
Advantages
