manufacture of Pharma, Fine and Agro Chemicals, it is necessary to be
able to handle mixtures of solids, liquids and gases as these are
commonly encountered in intense and productive processes. Most flow
methodology reported to date deals with mono-phasic liquids for which
tubular reactors are often used with poor mixing characteristics. On the
other hand continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) can handle
multi-phasic systems, due to good mixing, and are well known in industry
for large-scale reactions. However, to date there are few small-scale
laboratory reactors that enable the testing and development of these
types of reactions. This presentation will discuss recent developments
in lab-scale cascade CSTRs and give a number of examples of multiphase
continuous flow reactions. |
