Summary and Outlook

  • Mixing has significant influence on reactions
  • Choice of mixer influences reaction and

performance

  • Utilization of microfluidic mixing setups for a

model process

– P/TiO2 process for exemplary process intensification – Fouling remidation studies for exemplary process
