Physical Organic Chemistry Concepts in Process Development
Provider Britest
Course description
Delivered over 5 2-3 hour sessions, this course some key concepts of physical organic chemistry will be introduced and how they support successful process development, scale-up and tech transfer in the context of whole process design will be explored. The aim of whole process design is to generate the process that best meets the business needs. The course will provide a framework for successful process development suitable for application to both traditional batch and flow processes and highlight the importance of the physicochemical aspects of the process by selecting suitable process conditions and equipment.
- Understand the effect of mixing on the mass transfer rate processes as well as the reaction kinetics.
- Physical organic chemistry concepts for route selection and process design in relation to the number of phases present and other physical and chemical factors.
- Understanding multiphase mixing to achieve good dispersions to promote good mass transfer between phases and the impact on reaction rate and selectivity, and the effect of temperature on reactions involving a gas phase.
- Understand process complexity and the quality of data required during process development.
- Understanding equilibrium processes to identify optimum process conditions (solubility, pH, etc).
- Learn to use tools supporting improved process understanding throughout the early stages of process development.
- Identify optimum process conditions such as preferred solubility, pH, etc.
- Process scale up and development
- Process complexity awareness
- Decision making
If you are working in ceramics or material science and have an interest in learning more about physical organic chemistry and process development, this course will be of benefit to you. This intermediate course would be of most benefit if you have an objective or relevant area of interest in physical organic chemistry or process development, as this will enrich your learning experience and support practical engagement with the course material.
Some examples of those who would benefit most include: R&D scientists and technician, process technicians, production operatives, maintenance operatives, chemists and materials scientists and technical ceramicists.
