An innovative electrochemical microreactor leveraging redox-responsive hydrogels for the targeted removal of organic pollutants has been presented in this study.The centrepiece is a alginate hydrogel cross-linked with iron ions, capable controlling release Fe ions by an external electrical stimulus.The were used to activate persulfate, leading formation reactive sulfate and hydroxyl radicals situ.The system was tested continuous degradation radical oxidation using bisphenol A (BPA) as model...
The continuous ethyl acetate extraction of progesterone and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, a reactant the product biotransformation step involved in corticosteroid production, was studied microchannel at different flow velocities. In addition, non-steady state batch without mixing performed modelled order to verify theoretically predicted parameters. analyze experimental data forecast microreactor performance, three-dimensional mathematical model with convection diffusion terms developed...
Separation and purification of biomacromolecules either in biopharmaceuticals fine chemicals manufacturing, or diagnostics biological characterization, can substantially benefit from application microfluidic devices.
Miniaturized flow reactors with immobilized biocatalysts offer enormous potential for process intensification. They enable long-term use of biocatalysts, continuous operation that significantly outperforms batch processes, and efficient mass heat transfer results in highly controlled reaction conditions. Despite their increasing biocatalytic optimization reactor design operating conditions based on mathematical description is very rare. This work aims to fill this gap by developing...
A continuously operated ψ-shaped microreactor was used for lipase-catalyzed synthesis of isoamyl acetate in the 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium dicyanamide/n-heptane two-phase system. The chosen solvent system with dissolved Candida antarctica lipase B, which attached to ionic liquid/n-heptane interfacial area due its amphiphilic properties, shown be highly efficient and enabled simultaneous esterification product removal. At preliminarily selected conditions regarding type acyl donor, molar...
A theoretical description of the convection-diffusion process in a homogeneous system enabling estimation diffusion coefficients employing commercially available Y-junction microchannel is presented. detailed numerical analysis based on finite volumes and differences, namely explicit, implicit Crank-Nicolson method, was performed analyzed same domain order to verify proposed models. All approaches provided stable solutions with certain variations depending number iterations defined by mesh...
Hydrogen peroxide can be produced electrochemically by selective oxygen reduction reaction or water oxidation in various electrolytes. A very promising, sustainable, and efficient method to produce hydrogen is the so-called electrochemical "lab-on-a-chip" technology, where microfluidic flow cells used. The main advantage of such a system "on demand" site" production. If these systems are commercialized, suitable electrocatalysts (anode cathode), sensors, device design must developed...
Two different types of carriers differing fundamentally in size, shape and structure were evaluated parallel testing for nitrification potential using the moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology. One used was a cylindrical high-density polyethylene ring shaped carrier (AnoxKaldnes, K1 carrier) other spherical polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel bead (Kuraray, PVA-gel carrier). For each MBBR process, artificial wastewater under autotrophic conditions, high maximal rates at 20°C obtained. up to...
