A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Additively manufactured Flow Cells for Inline Mixing and Reaction Monitoring with Low-Field NMR Spectroscopy N2 - The demand for increasing product diversity in the chemical process industry calls for new production processes that enable greater flexibility. Therefore, plants are needed that produce significant quantities for market supply that can be scaled up to several tons per year. Compared to traditional batch processes, intensified continuous production enables not only flexibility but also the production of compounds that are difficult to produce. Custom-designed small-scale reactors significantly improve heat and mass transfer through micro mixing and can improve safety, e.g. in the case of high grade exothermic or high-pressure reactions, and might play an important role for customized, modular production facilities.1 Combined with optimally designed flow cells, compact NMR instruments currently present promising analytical tools for use in flow chemistry applications.2,3 In recent process monitoring applications, the flow cell and the mixing unit are usually separated parts leading to a severe time delay between mixing and first data acquisition. In this work, we present a comprehensive workflow for the design of a flow cell−mixer combination based on CFD simulation and other design principles.4 Due to the increasing opportunities in additive manufacturing of ceramics, it was possible to realize an optimized SMX-type mixer with a fully integrated NMR flow cell (cf. Fig. 1). Validation studies exhibited 1H NMR spectra with a quality comparable to common NMR glass tubes. So far, the mixing performance of the system has been evaluated for different mass flow rates within the intended working range of 5–120 seconds region and compared to ideally mixed samples. Thus, the integrated flow cell−static mixer combination can be used for different purposes such as evaluation of fluid properties, equilibration studies, or reaction monitoring of two instantaneously mixed samples. The ceramic flow cell was additively manufactured and analyzed through x-ray microtomography revealing surface characteristics due to the manufacturing process (cf. Fig. 2). Furthermore, the working range of the whole system was characterized leading to an operational specification for further applications. In summary, the role of custom-designed components for modular, chemical production, amongst other essential factors like fast development of reliable evaluation models is discussed.
