TL;DR: In this paper, the application of microreactors as a tool for acquiring kinetic data on a photochemical reaction is demonstrated, where the authors used modeling tools and carried out specific experiments in a spiral-shaped microreactor irradiated by an ultraviolet/light-emitting diode (UV-LED) array.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fast development method for batch to continuous processes transposition is proposed based on transient regime experiments analysis and is applied to a solid liquid extraction in a disc and doughnut column of 54 mm in diameter, and 3.5 m in height.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general design methodology for reactive liquid-liquid extraction is introduced, composed of three different steps: feasibility analysis, pre-design determination and simulation validation, which leads to the design specifications of the units from the information concerning the physico-chemical behaviour of the studied system, exploiting the equilibrium and material balance equations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a design strategy allowing the development of an inexpensive microdevice with a cylindrical section able to work at high pressures is established, which combines good optical access, high pressure resistance, homogeneous operation conditions, fast process control and detection, and the ability to generate a stable two-phase flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the ability to also manage a slow and equilibrated system, the methyl acetate esterification reaction, on condition of intensification in terms of design and operating conditions is presented.
