Enabling intensification of multiphase chemical processes with additive manufacturing
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: McMillin, RE, Luxon, AR, Ferri, JK
Fixed bed supports of various materials (metal, ceramic, polymer) and geometries are used to enhance the performance of many unit operations in chemical processes. Consider first metal and ceramic monolith support structures, which are typically extruded. Extruded monoliths contain regular,...

Additive Layer Manufacturing of Catalytic Static Mixers for Continuous Flow Reactors
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Hornung, CH, Singh, S, Saubern, S
With a design guided by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), additively manufactured from base metals and coated with metal catalysts using cold spray technology or electroplating, catalytic static mixers are used to replace fixed bed columns in continuous flow reactors. We have shown their...

3D Printed Reactors for Synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in Continuous Flow
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Maier, MC, Valotta, AHiebler, K, Soritz, S, Gavric, K, Grabner, B, Gruber-Woelfler, H
Advances in flow chemistry to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) require performing reactions in tailor-made equipment as complexity of the planned setups increases. To react quickly and with low costs to these demanding reactions, additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing,...
