Heterogeneously catalyzed synthesis of performic acid in a microstructured reactor

Production of Lactic Acid/Lactates from Biomass and Their Catalytic Transformations to Commodities

“…An image of gel-type resin Dowex 50WX2 is shown in Figure S8 (Supporting Information). 184 Gel resins have micropores and very small specific surface areas. 185 A schematic image of microand macroporous resin swelling is shown in Figure S7.…”

Reaction kinetics of cyclohexanone ammoximation over TS-1 catalyst in a microreactor

“…Microreactors enable continuous operation and minute reactant consumption and therefore render fast scanning of reaction parameters (Liu and Jensen, 2012). Thus, more accurate kinetic parameters can be acquired, which would otherwise be difficult using a batch reactor (Ebrahimi et al, 2012). They have been successfully used to characterize the kinetics of Diels-Alder reaction , dehydrochlorination of dichloropropanol (Zhang et al, 2012a) and fast exothermic pre-mixing reaction (Wang et al, 2011).…”

Liquid phase oxidation chemistry in continuous-flow microreactors

“…262 Ebrahimi et al further investigated the formation of performic acid in the presence of a cation exchange resin loaded in a packed-bed micro-structured reactor. 263 Dowex 50Wx8 was selected as the optimal catalyst due to excellent reusability. The results showed that the reaction could reach equilibrium in 2 min at 40 °C, while it needs at least 30 min for the corresponding batch reaction.…”
