Abstract
Researchers used packed-bed microreactors under flow conditions to examine two heterogeneous catalysis processes: oxidation of 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde and hydrogenation of 2-methylfuran.
The processes are proven to be a valuable platform for rapid screening of catalytic materials, efficient optimization of reaction conditions, inline monitoring of reaction progress, and extraction of kinetic parameters.
