ABOUT FLOW CHEMISTRY

Flow Chemistry describes the process of a chemical reaction in a continuous flow. Fluids are pumped into a reactor and brought into contact with each other. The flow chemistry process has great advantages in the production of large quantities of a specific chemical product. It is therefore an alternative to conventional batch production.

 

So, what do you need for flow chemistry processes? You just need pumps to move your reagents, a mixing device like a microreactor to combine the reagents and something where the final product goes into.

ADVANTAGES OF FLOW CHEMISTRY APPLICATIONS

There are numerous advantages in using continuous flow chemistry, like:

Increased process safety

In the traditional batch process, hazardous reactions are produced on a large scale. In the continuous flow chemistry process, there is a significant improvement in process safety because the reactants are brought into contact continuously but in smaller quantities.

Improved quality control

The fact that in continuous flow chemistry the reactants are used on a smaller scale also ensures that the reaction takes place much faster and it requires less material input. This also enables real-time sampling and thus variables of the reaction can be controlled much more precisely. This leads to better reproducibility and thus to a higher yield of the end product.

Reduced analysis time

Real-time analysis provides immediate feedback on the reaction performance. Testing is therefore much faster in flow chemistry processes than in traditional batch process.
