Gasification of organic matter under the conditions of supercritical water (T > 374 °C, p > 221 bar) is an allothermal, continuous flow process suitable to convert materials with high moisture content (<20 wt.% dry matter) into a combustible gas. The gasification of organic matter with water as a solvent offers several benefits, particularly the omission of an energy-intensive drying process. The reactions are fast, and mean residence times inside the reactor are consequently low (less than 5 min). However, there are still various challenges to be met. The combination of high temperature and pressure and the low concentration of organic matter require a robust process design. Additionally, the low value of the feed and the product predestinate the process for decentralized applications, which is a challenge for the economics of an application. The present contribution summarizes the experience gained during more than 10 years of operation of the first dedicated pilot plant for supercritical water gasification of biomass. The emphasis lies on highlighting the challenges in process design. In addition to some fundamental results gained from comparable laboratory plants, selected experimental results of the pilot plant “VERENA” (acronym for the German expression “experimental facility for the energetic exploitation of agricultural matter”) are presented.

Although photocatalytic chemistry has been the subject of intense interest recently, the rate of these reactions is often slow due to the limited penetration of light into typical reaction media. Peter H. Seeberger at the Max-Planck Institute for Colloids and Surfaces in Potsdam and the Free University of Berlin showed (Chem. Sci. 2012, 3, 1612) that Ru(bpy)32+-catalyzed reactions such as the reduction of azide 1 to 2 can be achieved in as little as 1 min residence time using continuous flow, as opposed to the 2 h batch reaction time previously reported. The benefits of flow on a number of strategic photocatalytic reactions, including the coupling of 3 and 4 to produce 5, was also demonstrated (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 4144) by Corey R.J. Stephenson at Boston University and Timothy F. Jamison at MIT. In this case, a reaction throughput of 0.914 mmol/h compares favorably with 0.327 mmol/h for the batch reaction. Professor Seeberger has also reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 1706) a continuous-flow synthesis of Artemisinin 7, a highly effective antimalarial drug, starting from dihydroartemisinic acid 6. The conversion occurs by a sequence of photochemical oxidation with singlet oxygen, acidic Hock cleavage of the O–O bond, and oxidation with triplet oxygen, a process calculated to be capable of furnishing up to 200 g/day per reactor. A scalable intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of 8 to produce 9 was reported (Tetrahedron Lett. 2012, 53, 1363) by Matthias Nettekoven of Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel, Switzerland. Stephen L. Buchwald at MIT developed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 5355) a flow process for the enantioselective β-arylation of ketones that involved lithiation of aryl bromide 10, borylation, and rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition to cycloheptenone. For continuous flow production of enantioenriched alcohols such as 14, Miquel A. Pericás of the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia developed (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 1816) the robust polystyrene-supported aminoalcohol 13 for diethylzinc addition to aldehydes. Professor Jamison found (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 568) that flow chemistry provides a convenient and reliable solution to the reduction of esters to aldehydes with DIBALH (e.g., 15 to 16) that occurs rapidly and without the usual problem of overreduction.

Abstract The use of flow chemistry in the single- and multistep synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been well demonstrated. The pharmaceutical industry is now taking the next steps towards integration of flow chemistry into large-scale commercialized processes, which can effectively supply patient populations. This chapter details advances in this area, and outlines the data and knowledge required to select, develop, scale, and commercialize an efficient flow process.
