A universal multistage cascade CSTR
has been developed that is
suitable for a wide range of continuous-flow processes. Coined by
our group the “Freactor” (free-to-access reactor), the
new reactor integrates the efficiency of pipe-flow processing with
the advanced mixing of a CSTR, delivering a general “plug-and-play”
reactor platform which is well-suited to multiphasic continuous-flow
chemistry. Importantly, the reactor geometry is easily customized
to accommodate reactions requiring long residence times (≥3
h tested).
The desorption rate stands between the theoretical curves for pure barrier control (intensive convection) and mixed barrier + diffusion control (no convection).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
