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.
