Experimental approaches for understanding mixing performance of a minireactor

The Use of Artificial Neural Networks for Optimizing Polydispersity Index (PDI) in Nanoprecipitation Process of Acetaminophen in Microfluidic Devices

“…With regard to the effect of solvent/antisolvent flow rates, it has been determined that increasing the antisolvent flow (26,27). In fact, with increasing antisolvent flow rate, fewer drug molecules diffuse to the flow of antisolvent per unit volume of antisolvent.…”

Enhancement of mass transfer performance of liquid–liquid system by droplet flow in microchannels

“…They found that efficiency as much as 95% could be reached in short time with the droplet diameters from 20 to 150 m in a liquid-liquid extraction process. In the same period, our research group developed another kind of micro-structured mixer based on the membrane emulsification technology [12][13][14]. The results showed that in microscale dispersion extraction processes the mass transfer efficiency could be as much as 100%, and the mass transfer time was less than 0.5 s. Droplet flow in microscale has been also applied for liquid-liquid micro-extraction, nanoparticle synthesis, rapid reaction processes, and so on [15][16][17].…”

Kinetics research on fast exothermic reaction between cyclohexanecarboxylic acid and oleum in microreactor

“…The microreactor is completely insulated with NBR-PVC rubber foam before and during the experiment ensuring that the temperature is only influenced by the reactant conversion. This type of microreactor has already been shown to exhibit plug flow performance [23], and the reaction time can therefore be calculated by comparing the sensor location to the average velocity of the reacting fluids. The locations of the mini-sensors are given in Table 1.…”
