Batch control makes chemical reactions easier to manage
Two Dutch researchers have developed a method for managing so-called batch productions. During a batch production, substances react in a reactor vessel according to a certain recipe to produce an end product. After the reaction the reactor is emptied and a new reaction with the same recipe is started. Chemist Eric van Sprang and chemical engineer... view more... (2004-04-13)
