In synthesis, photochemistry is often the method of choice. Many organic syntheses are either carried out primarily through irradiation with UV or they are significantly speeded up. In contrast to thermal reactions, light-induced reactions often run at room temperature and are consequently more economical. Sensitive molecules are not destroyed and there are fewer by-products.
Light as the reagent in the breaking down of organic compounds in fluids In areas such as water treatment, photochemistry makes the use of toxic substances redundant. Harmful materials are actually broken down and not stored in another matrix, as happens with conventional physical technologies such as active carbon adsorption.
The photostability of organic molecules can be tested quickly and efficiently. In many countries there are already codes relating to the testing of the photo-chemically induced decomposition of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The UV reactor is the ideal item of test equipment in this instance.
Everything from a single source In addition to standard reactors, we offer custom-built solutions in terms of size, construction and design, as well as comprehensive information material.
