On-site-on demand production of hazardous chemicals by continuous flow processes

摘要

The fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry is taking numerous measures to improve on the sustainability of their manufacturing processes and safeguard compliance and quality of their products. One way to do so is taking better control of the origin of sensitive but quality critical starting materials by producing them on-site-on-demand. This replaces the transport, storage and handling of versatile but hazardous starting materials by their on-site-on-demand production and use in a subsequent reaction. An increasing number of starting materials is thus produced by continuous processes in small-structured reactors and used immediately after generation.
