continuous flow microreactor

Wall-less micro flow reactors are apparatuses in which chemical reactions may be performed continuously, as opposed to batchwise. Typically, such reactors are fabricated from glass, metal or ceramic, and are adapted to efficiently blend reactants as well as transfer heat. They are much smaller than traditional batch reactors, enabling more precise control of reaction parameters such as temperature, pressure and residence time.

Continuous flow microreactors offer several advantages. The most important advantage is the possibility to provide reactions to be executed in a safer and better controlled way. Because the reactions occur on an ongoing basis, it is that less likely for there to be uncontrolled reactions or problems. Furthermore, the use of microreactors under flow conditions results in superior control over reaction conditions and offers enhanced yields and purity of products.

Advantages of Using Continuous Flow Microreactors

Continuous flow microreactors also allow to carry out reactions that are not feasible in batch reactors. For instance, in some instances control of residence time, temperature or mixing is needed and can more easily be effected in a continuous flow microreactor. Furthermore, the demand for heating or cooling to maintain contemporary reaction conditions in the batch reactor as well as the energy consumption is lower in continuous flow microreactors.

Micromixers have extensive usages in organic synthesis. They are extensively employed in pharmaceuticals for the manufacture of small molecule drugs and APIs. They are also applied in the field of specialty chemicals, polymers and agrochemicals synthesisOperating stochastic approach to continuous flow synthesis: Grzybowski et al.
