F. Chemat et al., A NEW CONTINUOUS-FLOW RECYCLE MICROWAVE REACTOR FOR HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS CHEMICAL-REACTIONS, Chemical engineering & technology, 19(5), 1996, pp. 420-424
A new continuous-flow recycle microwave reactor suitable for organic s
ynthesis has been developed to handle 0.51 quantities of reagents. The
apparatus, which is designed for laboratory use, operates at atmosphe
ric pressure in open- or closed-loop mode. It is fitted with a tempera
ture control system. We describe this novel reactor and illustrate its
efficiency with examples of organic syntheses carried out using both
homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions.
