2018 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Reaction Engineering in Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals

This session will involve contributions which detail the application of innovative reaction engineering to impact processes for manufacturing low volume, high value chemicals typically seen in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry. Submissions on multiphase reaction engineering, reaction engineering of heat and mass transport limited systems, reaction kinetics of complex systems, novel reactor designs, flow chemistry, green synthetic methodologies, and scale-up aspects are encouraged.
