Microflow photochemistry—a reactor comparison study using the photochemical synthesis of terebic acid as a model reaction

The continuous-microflow photochemical synthesis of terebic acid from maleic acid was investigated in two different microreactor set-ups. The results were subsequently compared to analogue experiments in a conventional chamber reactor. Based on conversion rates, reactor design and energy efficiency...

Summary:The continuous-microflow photochemical synthesis of terebic acid from maleic acid was investigated in two different microreactor set-ups. The results were subsequently compared to analogue experiments in a conventional chamber reactor. Based on conversion rates, reactor design and energy efficiency calculations, the simple microcapillary reactor showed the best overall performance.
