Batch Methods

In the United States tubular knitted fabric is dyed by the pad-batch method for oudets where the edge mark formed as the double thickness tube passes through the padder is accepted. In Europe it is usual to sHt tubular knitted fabric before padding in order to avoid any edge marks. 

Polymerization methods [I], [II], and [III] (Fig. 1) indicate, respectively, the dropwise addition of VAc and initiator the dropwise addition of VAc and the stepwise addition of initiator the batch method, in which all ingredients of water, VAc, PVA, and initiator were put into the reaction vessel before starting polymerization. In method [I], when the temperature of the PVA solution in the flask attained 70°C, dropwise additions of 20 g of an aqueous solution containing initiator and 250 g of VAc were started. In method [II], the process was similar to method [I], except the initiator was added stepwise. When the temperature of the contents in the flask was raised to 70°C, 24 g of an aqueous solution containing half the prescribed amount of initiator was first added. 

The really great advantage of the continuous methods over the batch methods is the much smaller accumulation of NG in any given plant location in the former process. Additional advantages accrue from faster production, better control, lower labor costs, etc. Klassen and Humphrys (Ref 40) compare the Biazzi con-... 

Both continuous and batch methods may be used in methanolysis. The batch mediod requires an autoclave, crystallizer, and centrifuge and a system for the melting and distillation of the DMT obtained. In the two-stage Hoechst continuous process, waste PET is melted and fed to a reactor. Preheated methanol is added to the autoclave, which is equipped with a mixer. The conversion reaches 70-90% in the first reactor, after which the reaction stream is introduced into a second autoclave at a lower temperature near the bottom, where it rises slowly and die higher density impurities settle at the bottom. The reaction stream leaves the second autoclave and its pressure is reduced to 0.3 MPa. On further reduction of the pressure and cooling, DMT precipitates and is subsequently purified.12... 

Obviously, the fast-fill-and-hold method is preferred from the viewpoint of elapsed time. More importantly, the fed-batch method requires an accurate process model that may not be available. The fast-fill-and-hold method can use a process model or it can use a real-time measurement of concentration. 

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests whether one group of subjects (e.g., batch, method, laboratory, etc.) differs from the population of subjects investigated (several batches of one product different methods for the same parameter several laboratories participating in a round-robin test to validate a method, for examples see Refs. 5, 9, 21, 30. Multiple measurements are necessary to establish a benchmark variability ( within-group ) typical for the type of subject. Whenever a difference significantly exceeds this benchmark, at least two populations of subjects are involved. A graphical analogue is the Youden plot (see Fig. 2.1). An additive model is assumed for ANOVA. 

Polymerization was performed in a 100 mL glass reactor equipped with a magnetic stirrer and carried out as semi-batch method. First, the reactor was charged with MAO and then 1-hexene in the certain amount was add. Consequently the system was changol to etiiylene atmosphae system. When reaction medium was saturated with ethylme monoma-. 

Many reports confirm notable reductions in reaction times when carrying out reactions under micro flow conditions. Concerning p-dipeptide synthesis, for example, a comparison between batch and micro-reactor processing was made for the reaction of Dmab-P-alanine and Fmoc-i-P-homophenylalanine [158]. While the micro reactor gave a 100% yield in 20 min, only about 5% was reached with the batch method. Even after 400 h, only 70% conversion was achieved. 

Batch-type production processes, particularly those with small batch sizes, have less energy efficiency as compared to continuous processes. A typical example of a batch operation on a relatively small scale is the production of titanium in 1-ton batches of the metal. The energy efficiency of the process is much less than that of continuous methods such as iron being produced in a blast furnace, or even of large-scale batch methods such as basic oxygen steel-making. The heat losses per unit of production are much less in continuous and large-batch processes, and this also enables the waste heat from process streams to be used. 

In order to produce poly(3HB) from inexpensive substrates, a two-stage fed batch method employing two different microorganisms has also been explored... 

Complex stability constants are most often determined by pH-potentiometric titration of the ligand in the presence and absence of the metal ion.100 This method works well when equilibrium is reached rapidly (within a few minutes), which is usually the case for linear ligands. For macrocyclic compounds, such as DOTA and its derivatives, complex formation is very slow, especially for low pH values where the formation is not complete, therefore a batch method is... 

A coupled reactor-separation system (Figure 4.6) was used by Livingston et al. in which they were able to perform a Heck reaction and to recycle the catalyst 10 times using a semi batch method. [14,15] To prevent degradation of the membrane by the... 

The wide variety of methods for determining the dissolution rates of solids may be categorized either as batch methods (Fig. 13A) or as continuous-flow methods (Fig. 13B). The common batch-type dissolution methods are derived from the beaker-stirrer method of Levy and Hayes [89] and include a number of thoroughly standardized procedures, especially those defined by the U.S. Pharmacopoeia [90]. 

In the disc method, the powder is compressed by a punch in a die to produce a compacted disc, or tablet. The disc, with one face exposed, is then rotated at a constant speed without wobble in the dissolution medium. For this purpose the disc may be placed in a holder, such as the Wood et al. [Ill] apparatus, or may be left in the die [112]. The dissolution rate, dmldt, is determined as in a batch method, while the wetted surface area is simply the area of the disc exposed to the dissolution medium. The powder x-ray diffraction patterns of the solid after compaction and of the residual solid after dissolution should be compared with that of the original powder to test for possible phase changes during compaction or dissolution. Such phase changes would include polymorphism, solvate formation, or crystallization of an amorphous solid [113],... 

The conventional approach to solvent extraction is the batch method. Early work with this method was hampered by the low concentration of the compounds present and the relative insensitivity of the methods of characterization. Thus lipids and hydrocarbons have been separated from seawater by extraction with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. The fractionation techniques include column and thin-layer chromatography with final characterisation by thin-layer chromatography, infrared, and ultra-violet spectroscopy and gas chromatography. Of these techniques, only gas chromatography is really useful at levels of organic matter present in seawater. With techniques available today such as glass capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, much more information could be extracted from such samples [20].

There are many reasons why chemical synthesis is advantageously performed in flow mode using a micro-contactor (or microreactor) rather than in a round-bottomed flask, well or vessel. In fact, if it was not for a long history of batch mode chemistry and the convenience of a handsized flask, the case would need to be made for employing batch methods. 

Overall, the microreactor provides greater safety for individuals and equipment and reduces the likelihood of loss of process and the consequent disruption and even loss of sales that can follow. In common with other fine chemical manufacturers, most pharmaceutical companies have programs to capture the benefits of flow microreactors as adjuncts to or even replacements for their current batch methods for scaling up production of candidate molecules to satisfy clinical and manufacturing needs. This paper attempts to demonstrate that microreactors can be deployed more widely in pharmaceutical R D than as a tool for enhanced production and that they have the potential to underpin significant paradigm shifts in both early- and late-phase R D.
