    Cascade reactions for the continuous synthesis of fine chemicals

    Do you want to significantly optimize your production costs for the synthesis of fine chemicals and their purity at the same time?

    We present our novel and innovative synthesis process for manufacturing fine chemicals , where the final product is generated in a continuous synthesis cascade, ideally within a single reactor. This method significantly enhances process efficiency and makes production more sustainable by shortening retooling times and reducing the amount of energy needed.

    Workshop: Sustainable Synthesis of Fine Chemicals by Continuous Flow Cascade Reactions

    Michaela Müller | 14 Nov 2024 |  13:05 - 14:05 |  Sustainable Chemicals

    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.
