Photochemical technology problems, limitations

Utilization of flow reactors can overcome many of the problems associated with traditional batch reactors. Such reactors often have veiy short path lengths and may have better control of temperature. As demonstrated in many flow chemistry applications, scale-up is only limited by time. Over the past decade there have been many developments in the technology for photochemical reactions in flow, ranging from complex microfluidic devices to simple tubing based reactors, all of which have advantages and disadvantages." ...
