Microreactors in Organic Chemistry and Catalysis: WIRTH:MICROREACTORS E2 O-BK

For this second edition all the chapters have been revised and updated to reflect the latest developments, plus a new chapter on "Analysis and optimization of reactions" is now included. It remains a comprehensive publication covering most aspects of the topic. The use of microreactors in homogeneous, heterogeneous as well as biphasic reactions is covered in the main part of the book, together with catalytic approaches. The initial chapters also provide a solid physical chemistry background on fluidics in microdevices. Finally, a chapter on industrial applications and developments covers recent progress in process chemistry. An excellent reference for beginners and experts alike.
