Flow chemistry
MH24OP.FLC
written examination (70%) and practical work (30%)
Process intensification is part of an effort to improve the productivity and selectivity of chemical reactions, in particular through the use of micro / micro-structured reactors, in-situ reaction / separation coupling and the use of alternative energy sources (photochemistry, ultrasound etc …). The teaching will include a first theoretical part whose objective is to show how the intensification of transfers within a chemical reactor influences its performance. In this first part, concrete examples will be analyzed in class, in tutorials and practical work. The second part will be more descriptive and involve teachers and researchers from disciplines other than process engineering (materials, molecular chemistry). They will share their experiences as users of the new intensified technologies.
The objective of this teaching unit is to train students in the field of process intensification. At the end of the training, students must be able to:
• Understand the context of intensification
• Describe the fundamentals of material, heat and momentum transfer, especially in small channels
• Analyze referenced industrial cases and developments in chemical engineering
• Analyze academic examples of flow chemistry in the fields of molecular synthesis and material synthesis
• Propose relevant intensification solutions in the case of a given process
