Held in conjunction with 2nd International Conference of the Flow Chemistry Society
12 Mar 2012, at 09:00-17:00 in Munich, Germany
Price:
Who should attend?
Chemists from
industry, academia or government who are involved in basic research in
biotechnology, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or related synthetic topics. These
could include medicinal, organic, and high-throughput chemists in addition to
scientists involved in process development. A basic knowledge of chemistry is
required.
The course is designed to make participants familiar with this
emerging field, and improve the synthetic productivity of any practicing B.S.,
M.S., and Ph.D. chemist. This course will be valuable to both industrial and
academic researchers currently involved with, or intending to become active in
the area of continuous flow synthesis.
What will I
gain by attending?
• Obtain a state of the art
introduction and training in this dynamic field • Understand the theory and
concepts behind micro reactors • Become familiar with all major types of
commercially available equipment • Learn to apply flow technology to your
synthetic chemistry problems • Hear about a diverse set of chemistries and
applications during the course • Find out about future trends in micro
reactor chemistry in particular in process and scale-up • Discover where to
look for more advanced information
With time allowed for open
questions and discussion, this one day will enable the audience to get to grips
with most of the issues involved in micro reactors and continuous flow
production. All participants will receive a comprehensive set of notes in CD-ROM
format consisting of the material presented in the morning and afternoon
sessions.
Agenda
09:00-15:00 (with coffee and lunch breaks provided)
1. Basic concepts of micro reaction technology A brief introduction to the type of reactors used will be given, but most time will be devoted to the key concepts such as heat transfer and mixing.
2. General References Books - review articles - feature articles - online resources.
3. Equipment Review Commercially available micro reactors - general features.
4. Examples of synthetic reactions performed in micro fluidic systems This section will review in detail the reactions reported in the literature.
5. Examples of process intensification (scale-out) A review of industrial applications: to illustrate that the technology can be used at industrial scale manufacture.
6. Other applications of micro reactors Polymerisation, nanoparticle synthesis, emulsification and on line analysis will be outlined
15:00-17:00
7. Practical Workshop with Vendor equipment Practical tips and safety aspects relating to micro reactors - reaction optimization - general tips
8. Outlook Emerging applications - the future of micro reactors
9. Q & A Session
