Continuous-flow liquid-phase dehydrogenation of 1,4-cyclohexanedione in a structured multichannel reactor

Abstract

A highly selective continuous-flow process is developed for liquid-phase dehydrogenation to produce a high yield of hydroquinone in a millimetre-scale structured multichannel reactor.

Rapid Characterization and Parameter Space Exploration of Perovskites Using an Automated Routine

“…Typical applications of DoE are reported in catalysis, such as the work of Castillo et al, who screened the catalytic performance of 467 different materials for propene oxidation, or Dellamorte et al, who adopted DoE for finding a suitable bimetallic catalyst for ethylene epoxidation . Additionally, some work was done for dehydrogenation reactions in continuous-flow reactors by applying DoE for optimization of process parameters . Other works were done using DoE for ionic liquid based extractions of toxic components where the extraction yield was optimized through experimental design .…”
