Swern-Moffat Oxidation Pilot Plant

Figure 18 shows a pilot plant with a capacity of 10 t/a built for Swern-Moffat oxidation (Kawaguchi et al. 2006). The microreactor includes a series of rapid mixing functions for mass production. The yield of... 

Then, a pilot plant with a capacity of lOt/a was build for the Swern-Moffat oxidation [57,58]. The yield of the batch process is 83% at — 70 °C, whereas the microchemical process achieved a yield of 88% at 20 °C. The pilot plant was operated under stable reaction conditions for a long run with similar product yields as in the laboratory experiment (see Figure 5.23).
