Application Note 71: Photochemistry – Process development and scale up to kilos / day

This application note demonstrates a 385 % increase in throughput in the ene-like reaction of singlet oxygen with citronellol, by increasing the photon molar output. By using Vapourtec’s UV-150 photochemical reactor equipped with a 420 nm High Power LED, a throughput of 59 g/h (1.4 kg/day or over half a tonne a year) can be achieved.
