Flow Chemistry

Flow chemistry is when a chemical reaction is carried out in a continuous stream rather than in batches. Pumps, in other words, transport fluid into tubes, and where tubes meet, the fluids come into contact. A reaction occurs if certain fluids are reactive. Flow chemistry is a well-known technique for producing huge quantities of a particular material on a wide scale. However, the phrase was only recently coined for its use in a laboratory setting. Microreactors are frequently utilised. Continuous flow chemistry has seen a significant increase in the number and types of reactions it can execute in recent years, particularly in medicines, fine chemicals, green chemistry, catalytic processes, and polymer chemistry. Much of the growth is in chemistries that are too difficult for batch reactions to manage on a wider scale. These include potentially hazardous reactions.

Reversible deactivation radical polymerisation RDRP

The overall name for a family of polymerization processes is reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP), originally known as live radical polymerization (LRP). The propagating species is a free radical in all of the procedures, and there is an equilibrium between active (free radical) and dormant species. Because of this (almost) perfect balance, all chains develop during the polymerization procedure. This produces polymers with a predefined degree of polymerization and a restricted molar mass distribution (typically).

Turning polymers back into monomers- Depolymerization

The process of turning a polymer into a monomer or a combination of monomers is known as depolymerization (or depolymerisation). A rise in entropy drives this process.

Scientists have long sought strategies to break polymers down into their monomers in order to stem the tide of unrecycled plastics. Plastics that degrade naturally in the environment, as well as ways to reclaim common polymers, have been the subject of intense research. Plastic-eating microorganisms have even been discovered by chemists. However, for the time being, crude oil, the raw material used to make plastics, is still so cheap that no recycling process can compete, though this may change in the future.

Photo-Chemistry and Clean Energy

For all photobiology, photochemistry is the underlying mechanism. When a molecule absorbs a photon of light, it changes its electronic structure, and reacts differently to other molecules. The energy absorbed from light can lead to photochemical changes in the absorbing molecule, or in an adjacent molecule (e.g., photosensitizing). The energy can also be discharged as heat or as lower energy light, i.e. fluorescence or phosphorescence, to return the molecule to its ground condition.

The use of clean, renewable energy is one of the most important steps you can take to reduce the environmental impact. Electricity generation is our # 1 source of greenhouse gases, more than all our combined driving and flying, and clean energy also reduces harmful smog, toxic accumulations in our air and water, and the impacts of coal mining and gas extraction. But it will take time to replace our fossil-fuel infrastructure – and solid, consistent funding from both state and federal initiatives to develop renewable energy generation and consumer and business demand for clean energy.
