| 00:00 | Scale-up of Ultrasonic Microreactor and its Application on Nanomaterial Synthesis
Zhengya Dong, Professor, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Guangdong Laboratory, China
The lecture will present the speaker’s recent work on scale-up and application of ultrasonic microreactor. Integrating ultrasound wave with micro-flow reactor could prevent solid clogging and enhance mixing/mass transfer in microchannel. Considerable amount of study has been devoted to the design and application of ultrasonic microreactor, while its scale-up was rarely investigated. This lecture will prevent the design and application of a large scale ultrasonic microreactor. The design principle, scale-up strategy, long-term stability will be discussed. The reactor is then applied to the kg-scale synthesis of nano-emulsion and nano-liposomes. | 00:00 |  | Keynote Presentation Title to be Confirmed.

| 00:00 | Continuous Flow Hydrogenations for the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
Christian Hornung, Research Group Leader, CSIRO, Australia
Our group at CSIRO has developed a new structured catalyst reactor system, termed Catalytic Static Mixers or CSMs, which is based on 3D printed metal scaffolds coated with a noble metal catalyst such as Pt, Pd, Ni, Ru or others. These tubular reactors are used in continuous flow hydrogenations for the chemical manufacturing industry as well as for hydrogen reforming on demand. With the help of computational fluid dynamics, the structure of the mixer lattice can be optimised for a range of different outputs, such as minimised pressure drop, maximised heat transfer or optimised mixing. CSMs can be classified as a hierarchical catalyst system, whereby different length scales are addressed by different preparation methods; cm-, mm- and µm-scale features are formed by the 3D printing process and classical engineering design while certain µm- and nm-scale features are created during the catalyst preparation and deposition procedures. This results in a highly efficient and versatile catalyst platform which can be used in a broad range of different applications including homogeneous liquid phase, emulsion, liquid-gas and gas phase processes. | 00:00 |  | Keynote Presentation Process Intensification: Producing More with Less
Daria Camilla Boffito, Canada Research Chair in Engineering Process Intensification and Catalysis (EPIC) and Associate Professor, Polytechnique Montréal, Canada
Economic growth while accounting for social needs, climate change and environmental protection are key to tackle the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) and accelerate the energy transition towards the electrification of the chemical industry. Green technologies based on cleaner energy sources such as biofuels, hydroelectricity, wind and natural gas are a global priority. Their implementation cannot only rely on existing industrial infrastructures but needs new resources and space. This represents a limit to the increase in the production capacity of existing chemical plants and to the development of new technologies. Process Intensification (PI) is a new archetype of the chemical industry that targets order of magnitude improvements to manufacture chemicals by either retooling existing facilities or finding new smaller, more efficient breakthrough technologies. Examples of PI technologies include HiGee reactors (e.g. spinning-disc reactors), alternative energy vectors to power chemical processes (ultrasound, microwaves, plasma), static mixers, and membrane reactors. In this talk, Prof. Boffito will show how PI still struggles to find a definition, despite the undisputable advantages. These include, for instance, energy, capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and OpEx) savings in the 20-80% range, and a reduction of emitted CO2 eq. up to 80%. She will also explain how PI represents a paradigm-shift that, by a matter of fact will change the chemical industry in the upcoming years. Prof. Boffito will browse the available methods to intensify chemical processes, specifically those for carbon capture and utilization (CCU), and will explain why we need to apply them both to existing and new processes. Further, she will highlight how PI can contribute to attain the UN-SDGs. |
| 00:00 | New Organic Electrosynthetic Processes Innovated by Flow Reactor Technology
Mahito Atobe, Professor, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Yokohama National University, Japan
Organic electrosynthesis is expected to be a typical green chemistry process because it does not require any hazardous reagents and produces less waste than conventional chemical synthesis. In fact, a number of successful new green organic electrolytic processes have been developed to date. In addition, electrochemical methodologies based on new concepts have been also developed. These related studies have become an active research area. This presentation will outline a new organic electrosynthetic processes based on flow reactor technology, focusing on our research. | 00:00 | Ultrafast and Continuous Flow Synthesis of Zeolites
Toru Wakihara, Professor, The University of Tokyo, Japan
Zeolites have typically been synthesized via hydrothermal treatment, a process designed to artificially mimic the geological formation conditions of natural zeolites. This synthesis route, typically carried out in batch reactors like autoclaves, takes a time so long (typically, on the order of days) that the crystallization of zeolites had long been believed to be very slow in nature. Long periods of hydrothermal treatment also cause a burden on both energy efficiency and operational costs. Recently, we have reported the ultrafast syntheses of a class of industrially important zeolites within several minutes. Further shortening the crystallization time to the order of seconds would be a great challenge but can significantly benefit the mass product of zeolites as well as the fundamental understanding of the crystallization mechanism. | 00:00 |  | Keynote Presentation Microfluidics, A Versatile Tool to Produce High Quality Nanomaterials in Continuous Flow
Victor Sebastian, Full Professor, University of Zaragoza, Spain
In the last decade, the synthesis of nanomaterials with controlled size, shape and composition has received great interest due to their unique properties, enhancing their application in a plethora of fields: biomedicine, molecular diagnosis, biosensing, catalysis, energy, optics and electronics. Consequently, the controlled synthesis of nanomaterials has attracted significant attention because their properties are directly determined by their morphological and chemical features. However, there are urgent problems originated from very recent and practical demands in nanomaterial synthesis and the not straightforward scale-up of the successful laboratory-adapted protocols to an industrial level. This lecture will provide an overview of the adoption of microfluidic flow chemistry in the synthesis of inorganic, organic and hybrid nanomaterials. Microfluidics allows a novel process control window of well-defined nanomaterials, where the counterparts produced in conventional batch-type reactors are replicated but with an excellent control in size distribution, shape, and chemical composition. |
