Archived: Flow Chemistry
A 2 day course presented by Professor Oliver Kappe and Dr John Studley
Date: 24 May - 25 May 2023
Location: Graz, Austria
Tutors: Professor C Oliver Kappe, Dr John Studley, Dr Malcolm Berry
Flow chemistry has been used in petrochemical and bulk chemical production for over 100 years, but has only seen significant interest in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries in the past 10 years. This course aims to give an introduction to this exciting and revolutionary field, to familiarise attendees with the current state of the art.
A wide range of highlights from the flow chemistry literature will be discussed, from both academia and industry, with a focus on translating conventional reactions to flow processes. Attendees will become familiar with a number of distinct types of flow reactors, allowing the correct reactor to be chosen to suit the required chemistry. Emphasis will also be placed on the inline and online monitoring of flow reactions, along with the hazards and pitfalls associated with scaling up flow reactions.
This year we are delighted to introduce Malcolm Berry who will be presenting a special one hour guest lecture on how to develop efficient control strategies for multistep API synthesis. Malcolm is best known as one of the leading innovators in the field of continuous processing for small molecules.

Optional Masterclass on Flow Chemistry | Friday 26 May 2023 | University of Graz | 8.00 am until 4.30 pm
Although attendees of the Flow Chemistry Course will be well acquainted with the basic principles of flow chemistry and the advantages it can offer, the real “tricks of the trade” can only be learned in the lab. This one-day flow chemistry lab session, hosted by the “Center for Continuous Flow Synthesis and Processing” (CCFLOW), offers a unique hands-on experience of flow chemistry in action.
Participants will learn to select and operate a suitable flow reactor, gaining an understanding of the equipment and techniques involved. The experienced team at CCFLOW will offer practical advice on the set-up and execution of continuous processes. In the state-of-the-art laboratory space, small groups of participants will see live demonstrations of flow reactor technologies, including:
- Single- and multiphase flow chemistry
- Gas-liquid flow chemistry, mass flow controllers
- High-temperature/pressure process windows
- Glass, Hastelloy and silicon carbide plate-based flow platforms
- Flow photochemistry and electrochemistry
- In-line and at-line process analytics (IR, NMR, UV, UHPLC)
- Liquid-liquid and gas-liquid separations
- Piston-, syringe- and peristaltic pumps
- 3D printed reactors (steel, caramics)

A wide variety of examples were given; they helped me understand the concepts and will be a great reference to have for future work. My questions were all answered very satisfactorily.
