First, the results of a four-stage potential analysis developed by Merck (Darmstadt, Germany), together with the Technical University of Clausthal are discussed. This analysis starts with a technological evaluation of MRT to achieve finally a business view [4], Next, a short summary of a study from the fine chemical and pharmaceutical company Lonza (Visp, Switzerland) dealing with capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) costs for several pilot microchemical processes is presented [5]. The picture is rounded off by cost analyses of the chemical producer AzurChem, prepared in... 

Figures 4.2 (a) and (b) show the sequence of the procedure, indicating the points where decisions governing step-by-step action are made. Depending on plant definition, in simple cases a component-oriented analysis may suffice, one which is complete once the determination is made whether requirements specified for components and their design correspond. In many instances the analysis used will be the one which takes into account the materials employed, process parameters, and measuring and control technology. This analysis is indicated when new technical processes are used, when particularly complex interactions are considered, when a higher risk potential exists in the plant, or when economic reasons favor such a course. In a subsequent step the analysis can be in-depth, to the point of the determination of the logic system structure. This will be necessary when particularly detailed results are required or when a transition to a quantitative analysis must be created. Quantitative analysis presumes an adequate data base.

The new technological potential of LC polymers will perhaps lead to new types of thermostable, high-strength organic fibers, films, and plastics in the final analysis. 

R D and technology plans can also be analyzed with widely used portfoHo analysis (47), which provides visual correlations between variables such as potential value, probabiUty of success, time-to-completion, technology maturity, and project cost as a means of optimizing the plaimed effort. The analyses can be used to redirect effort and reallocate resources as a project progresses. 

Bosch and co-workers devised laboratory reactors to operate at high pressure and temperature in a recycle mode. These test reactors had the essential characteristics of potential industrial reactors and were used by Mittasch and co-workers to screen some 20,000 samples as candidate catalysts. The results led to the identification of an iron-containing mineral that is similar to today s industrial catalysts. The researchers recognized the need for porous catalytic materials and materials with more than one component, today identified as the support, the catalyticaHy active component, and the promoter. Today s technology for catalyst testing has become more efficient because much of the test equipment is automated, and the analysis of products and catalysts is much faster and more accurate. 

The use of microwave irradiation as an energy source for chemical reactions and processes has been extensively investigated during recent years and has found wide application in various fields of chemistry and technology. The following presentation focuses on the scope and potential of microwaves in chemical analysis.
