“…Thus, the further development of large reactors is required, at least on the pilot plant scale to enable multikilogram production of lead compounds. It was not until the mid-1990s that the issue of scale-up was first investigated (Raner et al, 1995;Cablewski et al, 1994;Roberts & Strauss, 2005). Since that time, a significant number of prototypical and commercial microwave scale-up reactors have been reported, for both batch and continuous operation, and most of these were described by chemical engineering groups.…”
