Equipment microwave batch reactor

In contrast to single-mode reactors, dedicated multimode instruments allow scale-up to be performed in multivessel rotor systems utilizing various types of sealed vessels. In these systems, reactions can be carried out in batch to synthesize multiple gram quantities (< 250 g) of material in typically up to 1 L processing volume. Most of the multimode instruments available for organic synthesis have been derived from closely related sample preparation equipment [39-41]. The MARS Microwave Synthesis System (Fig. 4) is based... 

The largest microwave reactor for organic synthetic applications so far is a pilot plant scale prototype installed at Sairem in France, developed and designed in collaboration with BioEurope and De Dietrich. This custom-built 1 m3 reactor (Fig. 15) with a powerful 6 kW microwave generator is used for the production of Laurydone [49]. Running in a batch-type recycling process, the equipment accomplished a 40% power reduction compared to the...
