Flow Chemistry - Virtual Event Agenda

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

"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.
