Flow cells offer several advantages over traditional batch reactors:
1. Enhanced Control: Flow cells provide precise control over reaction parameters, leading to more consistent and reproducible results. 2. Scalability: Continuous flow processes are easier to scale up compared to batch processes. This is particularly important in industrial applications where large quantities of product are required. 3. Safety: By continuously removing products from the reaction zone, flow cells can minimize the risk of hazardous conditions. 4. Efficiency: Improved heat and mass transfer in flow cells can lead to faster reaction rates and higher yields. 5. Sustainability: Flow chemistry often uses less solvent and generates less waste, contributing to greener and more sustainable processes.
