Workshop: Sustainable Synthesis of Fine Chemicals by Continuous Flow Cascade Reactions
14 Nov 2024
An interdisciplinary team of Fraunhofer researchers has developed an innovative synthesis process for the production of fine chemicals. While conventional processes use a sequence of different reactors and stirred tanks, the new process produces the end product in a continuous synthesis cascade, in the best case within a single reactor. The process leads to significantly more efficient process management and more sustainable production thanks to shorter changeover times and lower energy requirements. These benefits have a direct impact on the CO2 emissions of the synthesis process and its costs.
During the workshop, the developments will be presented and the requirements for a transfer to real production will be discussed.
