Abstract

Sustainable Chemical and Biochemical Processes Through Continuous Synthesis and Separation

Nopphon Weeranoppanant, Associate Professor, Burapha University

Conventional chemical processes often involve the use of toxic reagents, high energy consumption, and inefficient step economy, posing sustainability challenges. To address this, our research group employs alternative catalytic systems such as biocatalysis and photocatalysis. Different strategies, including catalyst immobilization and hybrid separation-reaction systems, can be implemented to facilitate catalyst recycling and increase productivity. In this talk, demonstration of such strategies with continuous synthesis and separation will be discussed.
