Impact of reactor geometry on continuous hydrothermal synthesis mixing
in Materials Research Innovations
| Description | There is plenty of scope for taking bench scale multi-stage batch reactions done by organic chemists and converting them to continuous scale, using cleaner solvents. |
| Exploitation Route | A lot of work went into how these processes could be scaled up and how heterogeneous catalysis (or in-situ catalysis) might be possible. |
