Synthesis of Juglone (5-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone) in a Falling Film Microreactor

Abstract: Photooxygenation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene to Juglone was studied in a falling film microreactor. Moderate conversion rates of up to 31% were achieved after just 160 s of exposure to visible light. In contrast, batch reactions gave much lower conversions of up to 14% after a prolonged time period of 10 min. The difference in performance is explained by the superior light penetration in the microfilm and the large gasYliquid contact area.

“…The liquid side mass transfer coefficient kL depends on the system scale under study. For micro/milli reactors, an order of magnitude of 10 −4 m·s −1 can be reasonably considered . At last, one finds a minimal value of the Hatta number equals to: false(Hafalse)min=false(k2false)minCBbDO2kL=6.66. …”

“…Due to various advantages (controlled flow structure, high surface‐to‐volume ratio and enhanced heat and mass transfer), microstructured technologies have received more and more attentions as being promising process intensification technologies enabling to carry out chemical reactions under controlled and safe conditions with high yield and selectivity. Gas/liquid reactions play an important role in scientific research and industrial application fields dealing with flow chemistry: for example, one can cite oxidation, catalytic hydrogenation, and photocatalytic oxidation . When implementing such reactions, it is essential to perfectly characterize and control the mass transfer between both phases insofar as, depending on the chemical kinetics, it can become the limiting step and thus induce a decrease of the reaction performances.…”

“…The FFMR has, however, found several successful applications in the field of fast exothermic gas/liquid reactions. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Generally, for enzyme catalysis in microreactors, several factors, such as the complete solubility of all reaction components and high enzyme activity and stability, must be taken into account. The major challenge is the immobilization of active cells or enzymes in or on microchannels.…”
