Download or read book Process Intensification Technologies for Green Chemistry written by Kamelia Boodhoo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful implementation of greener chemical processes relies not only on the development of more efficient catalysts for synthetic chemistry but also, and as importantly, on the development of reactor and separation technologies which can deliver enhanced processing performance in a safe, cost-effective and energy efficient manner. Process intensification has emerged as a promising field which can effectively tackle the challenges of significant process enhancement, whilst also offering the potential to diminish the environmental impact presented by the chemical industry. Following an introduction to process intensification and the principles of green chemistry, this book presents a number of intensified technologies which have been researched and developed, including case studies to illustrate their application to green chemical processes. Topics covered include: • Intensified reactor technologies: spinning disc reactors, microreactors, monolith reactors, oscillatory flow reactors, cavitational reactors • Combined reactor/separator systems: membrane reactors, reactive distillation, reactive extraction, reactive absorption • Membrane separations for green chemistry • Industry relevance of process intensification, including economics and environmental impact, opportunities for energy saving, and practical considerations for industrial implementation. Process Intensification for Green Chemistry is a valuable resource for practising engineers and chemists alike who are interested in applying intensified reactor and/or separator systems in a range of industries to achieve green chemistry principles.
Download or read book Microreactor Technology written by María José Nieves Remacha and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microreactors have been demonstrated to provide many advantages over conventional process technologies for the synthesis of chemical compounds and kinetic studies at the laboratory scale. High heat and mass transfer rates, rapid mixing, and higher selectivities and conversions can be achieved in these microdevices thanks to the small characteristic dimensions, enabling the synthesis of compounds that cannot be synthesized in conventional reactors. In the past years, efforts have been directed towards the application of microreactor technology for production purposes, especially in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry. The challenge is how to get benefit of the transport rates inherent to microreactors while increasing the throughput for production applications. Two approaches to increase production rate are possible: a) scale-out by parallelization of units; b) scale-up by increase in channel size and flow rates. Scale-out would require thousands of units to achieve kg/min of production rates and development of very expensive and complex control systems to ensure identical operating conditions in each unit for a perfect and predictable overall reactor performance. On the other hand, scale-up by increase in channel size risks losing mass and heat transfer performance. The Advanced-Flow Reactor (AFR) manufactured by Corning Inc. combines both approaches being able to yield production rates of 10 - 300 g/min per module. If the AFR is demonstrated to perform efficiently and to be easily scalable, it may become an alternative for process intensification and transition from batch to continuous in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry. Additional advantages include shorter process development times thanks to the scalability of the reactor modules, higher selectivities and yields, greener production processes, and possibility of introducing new chemistries. In this context, fundamental understanding of the hydrodynamics for multiphase systems is essential and critical for process development and scale-up purposes. The objective of this thesis is to study both experimentally and through computational fluid dynamic simulations the hydrodynamic characteristics of the AFR to demonstrate the capabilities of this technology using non-reactive (hexane/water) and reactive systems (carbon dioxide/water, ozone/alkene) at ambient conditions.
Download or read book Microreactor Technology and Process Intensification written by Yong Wang and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microreaction technology, with its unprecedented heat and mass transfer advantages as well as uniform residence time and flow pattern, is one of the few technologies with potential to develop efficient, environmentally benign, and compact processes. Novel fabrication and processing techniques, equipment, and operational methods are resulting in spectacular developments that go beyond "traditional" chemical engineering. These new developments promise improvements in process plants, and lead to the transformation of our concept of chemical plants into compact, safe, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable processes. Microsystems are now available in many devices for commercial applications including: micromixers and microreactors as alternative to batch production in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, lab-on-chip devices, microsensors, advanced rapid throughput chemical and catalyst screening tools (e.g. combi), distributed or portable power and chemical production, distributed heating and cooling, and even out of this world applications with NASA. A wide diversity of subjects are discussed in this book ranging from catalysis to fuel processing to combinatorial techniques to separations to novel reactors all of which are enabled by microtechnology principles. World renowned pioneers (Klavs Jensen, Volker Hessel, Jennifer Holmgren, and Galip Akay) provide accounts on both historical developments and the current state of the art as well as insights into future research and development in microreactor and process intensification. Research and developments are presented by industry, universities, U.S. National Laboratories, and other laboratories located in the United States and throughout the world. It is composed of peer-reviewed chapters from both contributing and invited authors. The review and original research topics include (1) introductory and general overviews, (2) microreactors- including catalysts for microreactors, fuel processors, milli-second contact time catalysis, gas to liquid technology, and biomass conversion; and (3) process intensification such as micro mixers, reactive membranes, and intensification of separation operations.
