 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The proposed project, MAPSYN, aims to bring selected innovative energy efficient chemical reaction processes, assisted with novel microwave, ultrasonic and plasma systems, up to the manufacturing scale. A pragmatic approach of using these selected alternative energy sources for end user selected reactions, will be individually studied for both microreactor and flow reactor systems (i.e. continuous not batch processes), to address specific business drivers such as energy reduction or increased production. The cost and energy of production needs to be kept as lean as possible with quality, reproducibility and sustainability being at the centre of the novel MAPSYN process concepts. Fine and commodity chemical syntheses for the chemical industry can be energy, time and design skill intensive and may produce lower reaction yields than desired. These valuable chemicals are vital to the consumer as they are used by the personal care, pharmaceutical, household and agricultural industries. End user selected reactions include selective hydrogenations and nitrogen fixation reactions.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

An EU-funded project is working to manufacture innovative reactors that efficiently allow assisted chemical synthesis by unconventional energy sources.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Innovative process conditions beyond those commonly used for chemical reactions can help improve the process performance and may open up cleaner and more efficient ways for chemical transformation. The EU-funded project http://www.mapsyn.eu/ (MAPSYN) (Microwave, ultrasonic and plasma assisted syntheses) aims to manufacture and scale microreactors and continuous flow reactors in which reactions are carried out assisted by ultrasounds, microwaves or plasma.

The project is trying to keep the cost and energy of production low, with quality, reproducibility and sustainability being at the centre of MAPSYN process concepts.

Consortium members are working in two different directions: nitrogen fixation and hydrogenation reactions. Simulations of plasma-assisted nitrogen fixation reactions are well underway. Two falling film reactors designed to be transparent to microwave radiation have been developed. In addition, project partners have synthesised and characterised catalysts for nitrogen fixation and hydrogenation that hold great promise for high selectivity and yield.

By the end of the project, MAPSYN will build two demonstrators: a plasma reactor for nitrogen fixation and a microwave hydrogenation system. MAPSYN has resulted in seven publications in peer-reviewed journals, eight posters and patent applications.

The results of project research should lead to the development of industrial facilities that can perform both hydrogenation and nitrogen fixation reactions. These processes are important to the pharmaceutical and fertiliser industries.
