ORCHESTRATION OF CHEMISTRY, CHEMICAL-TECHNOLOGY, AND CHEMICAL-ENGINEERING FOR FINE CHEMICALS

The manufacture of fine chemicals places different demands on chemists , chemical technologists and chemical engineers and it is essential to orchestrate their strengths from the outset. Many examples, pertainin g to the manufacture of isobutyl benzene/ibuprofen, triaryl phosphates , alkylated phenols, intermediate for Roundup, 4,4'-dihydroxy diphenyl , hydroquinone/catechol/resorcinol, and aromatic/aliphatic amines, are cited. Aspects of mixing, including, micromixing, the utility of dist illation column reactor, conversion of single liquid phase to multipha se reactions, and reaction-cystallisation, have been covered. The inte ractions are mutally beneficial and provides a broader range of option s and more powers to solve various problems in the shortest possible t ime.
