Engineering Aspects of Flow Chemistry

08:00

Integration of New Energy Fields in Flow Reactors, the Case of Ultrasound
Thomas Van Gerven, Professor, University of Leuven, Belgium

The use of ultrasound in flow reactors will be presented for a number of solid-liquid and liquid-liquid systems

09:00

"Transport Intensification Strategies for Microstructured Reactors and its Application on the Reaction Process Control "
Yuanhai Su, PostDoc, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands

The transport intensification strategies for microstructured reactors and its application on the reaction processes will be presented. Furthermore, the knowledge of mass transfer will be further extended and combined with that of photon transport in order to obtain intrinsic reaction kinetics through microreactor technology.

Enabling Technologies in Organic Chemistry- From Minireactors to New Heating Techniques
Andreas Kirschning, Group Leader, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany

Recently, magnetic nanoparticles have gained considerable interest in different areas of chemistry. On the other hand, meso and micro reactors have found wide spread interest in organic synthesis as an enabling technology to perform reactions more efficiently. But, there is still a quest for efficiently heating mesofluidic devices.


Photochemistry in Flow

16:00

Timothy NoëlKeynote Presentation

Photochemical Transformations Accelerated in Continuous-flow Microreactors
Timothy Noël, Professor, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

In this oral communication, we will report on the acceleration of photocatalytic reactions in continuous photomicroreactors  We will go into detail on both engineering and chemical/catalytic aspects of continuous-flow photochemistry. Relevant examples from our group, such as the Stadler-Ziegler reaction, trifluoromethylation reactions and disulfide formation will be detailed on during the presentation. Moreover, insight information will be provided about the discovery process and the different parameters that led to success.

17:00

Photoredox Transformations in Continuous Flow Using Cu- and Fe-Based Sensitizers
Shawn Collins, Full Professor, Université de Montréal, Canada

Photochemical strategies in organic synthesis have experienced a revival due to the facilitating nature of continuous flow methods. The presentation provides case studies into utilizing both visible-light, as well as UV-light irradiation for organic synthesis.
