Advanced Technologies for the Production of Specialty Chemicals

The review analyzes general approaches to the organization and development of organic specialty and fine chemicals manufacture. One of the conditions for successful competition in the market of manufacturers of specialty and fine chemicals is the need to transition from individual chemical product plants to multi-assortment flexible chemical process systems. The possibilities of application of flow microreactor systems for synthesis of organic compounds of high purity produced in small quantities are considered. Based on the examples of the production technology development for some organic compounds such as captax, altax, furfural, benzguanamine, di-chloro-di-para-xylylene, the variants of complex approach for the most rational creation of these specialty and fine chemicals manufacture are substantiated.
