Flow Analysis as Advanced Branch of Flow Chemistry

Marek Trojanowicz

The effectiveness of the carrying out chemical reactions, especially in terms of syntheses conducted in the laboratory or on a technological scale, is a primary target of the optimization of chemical conditions and physicochemical parameters of a given process. Since the publication of pioneering works in the beginning of 1970s, it is an increasingly accepted concept that carrying out chemical reactions in continuously flowing streams rather than in batch configuration has numerous advantages, hence flow chemistry can be at present considered as a separate and rapidly increasing area of modern chemistry. Four decades of the development of those methods resulted in thousands of original research works, numerous reported attractive technologies, and also in the presence of numerous specialized instruments on the market.
