The combination of reaction calorimetry and supercritical fluids as reactants and/or solvent holds great potential for the optimization of chemical processes using high pressure near-critical and/or supercritical mixtures. The very specific properties of s ...
A review. This review addresses the catalytic reactions performed in microstructured reactors, which are more and more recognized in recent years as a novel approach for chem. and chem. process industry. They are particularly suited for highly exothermic a ...
Efficient stirring is needed to realize heat flow anal. with a thermally homogeneous medium. Because dispersion polymn. with supercrit. fluids can be destabilized under stirring, a preliminary target has been to find a compromise between synthesis and basi ...
Reaction calorimetry is an efficient tool used to obtain kinetic, thermodn. and safety data. A reaction calorimeter, RC1e-HP350, developed in collaboration with Mettler-Toledo GmbH, allows investigating chem. reactions under supercrit. conditions. The main ...
A review; microstructured reactors are mainly characterized by their very-high surface to vol. ratio compared to traditional chem. reactors. Multichannel microreactors having channel diams. in the order of ten to several hundred micrometers have sp. surfac ...
A new system combining a microreactor and a microcalorimetric chip was investigated. The small size of the microreactor channel permits maintaining isothermal conditions necessary for the kinetic characterization of highly exothermic reactions. These condi ...
Reaction calorimetry is an efficient tool used to obtain kinetic, thermodn., and safety data. A new tool, composed of a high-pressure reactor (HP350) coupled with a Mettler-Toledo RC1e reaction calorimeter, is developed for the investigation of chem. react ...
Microfluidic devices are a promising new tool for studying and optimizing (bio)chemical reactions and analyses. Many (bio)chemical reactions require accurate temperature control, such as for example thermocycling for PCR. Here, a new integrated temperature ...
The aim of this work was to operate the steam reforming of methanol and the total oxidation of methanol in a microstructured two-passage reactor. The steam reforming enables the production of hydrogen at relatively low temperatures (250 °C) with only a sma ...
The driving force for organo- or lithotrophic growth as well as for each step in the metabolic network is the Gibbs reaction energy. For each enzymic step it must be neg. Thermodn. contributes therefore to the in-silico description of living systems. It ma ...
