Microreactors for modern chemistry (Worldwide 2-2001-345) New concepts of chemical synthesis are fueling demand for miniaturization and more complex systems. Microreaction technology is a hot topic as it opens up completely new possibilities for chemical engineering, combinatorial chemistry, and biotechnology. New concepts of chemical synthesis are fueling demand for miniaturization and more complex systems. Microreaction technology is a hot topic as it opens up completely new possibilities for chemical engineering, combinatorial chemistry, and biotechnology. Microreactors are small, inexpensive, independent and versatile devices which spell maximum selectivity, minimum waste, minimum investment, better process control, high safety and on-demand production for a multitude of reactions. This book outlines the fabrication techniques of microfluidic components, describes the unit operations of micro-chemical engineering, reports on current worldwide activities, and also considers the needs of the chemical industry have been included. |
