Flow Chemistry & Optional Masterclass
Event overview
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.
MASTERCLASS IN FLOW CHEMISTRY | FRIDAY 24 May 2024
To enhance the course you have an opportunity to attend this unique one-day flow chemistry lab session hosted by the “Center for Continuous Flow Synthesis and Processing” (CCFLOW) at the University of Graz.
Masterclass Information
Optional Masterclass on Flow Chemistry
Friday 24 May 2024 | 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)
HOW TO ATTEND
Places for the Masterclass are limited and will be available on a first come first place basis.
If you are booking onto this course, you will have the option to inlcude the Masterclass during the booking process. This will be an additional cost of €799 per person.
If you would only like to attend the Masterclass, please contact us via [email protected] and we can register you separately. The cost will be €999 per person.
