As we approach and adapt to the critical global challenges we face in the near future, it is important to consider the capabilities of flow chemistry and its applications in next-generation technologies for sustainability, energy production, and tailor-made specialty chemicals. We present the introduction of microfluidics into the fundamental unit operations of chemical engineering. We discuss the traits and advantages of microfluidic approaches to different reactive systems, both well-established and emerging, with a focus on the integration of modular microfluidic devices into high-efficiency experimental platforms for accelerated process optimization and intensified continuous manufacturing. Finally, we discuss the current state and new horizons in self-driven experimentation in flow chemistry for both intelligent exploration through the chemical universe and distributed manufacturing.}, journal={ANNUAL REVIEW OF CHEMICAL AND BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING}, author={Volk, Amanda A. and Campbell, Zachary S. and Ibrahim, Malek Y.

In response, an optically transparent flow reactor with continuous in operando CO2 collection using light-absorbing, graphite-titania composite microparticles is developed for the energy-efficient solar desorption of CO2 from saturated aqueous amine absorbents. The synthesized graphite-titania composite microparticles are demonstrated to be a more effective packing material for continuous CO2 solar desorption in the packed-bed flow reactor compared to other candidates, including titania and carbon black. The effect of continuous and discrete parameters, including irradiance, residence time, amine concentration, and amine chemical structure on the efficiency of solar-enabled CO2 desorption using the developed continuous flow strategy with the graphite-titania composite microparticle packing is studied in detail. Furthermore, the potential for the implementation of a control strategy by adjusting the aqueous amine stream flow rate to achieve constant CO2 desorption efficiency with dynamic solar irradiance is discussed. Finally, the continuous CO2 desorption stability over an extended period of time (12 h) is examined with an average single-pass efficiency of 64%.}, number={6}, journal={ACS SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Campbell, Zachary S. and Han, Suyong and Marre, Samuel and Abolhasani, Milad}, year={2021}, month={Feb}, pages={2570–2579} } @article{bennett_campbell_abolhasani_2019, title={Continuous synthesis of elastomeric macroporous microbeads}, volume={4}, ISSN={["2058-9883"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1039/C8RE00189H}, DOI={10.1039/c8re00189h}, abstractNote={Macroporous microbeads are synthesized by microfluidic production of silica-loaded polymeric microdroplets followed by porogen removal via selective etching.}, number={2}, journal={REACTION CHEMISTRY & ENGINEERING}, publisher={Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}, author={Bennett, Jeffrey A. and Campbell, Zachary S. and Abolhasani, Milad}, year={2019}, month={Feb}, pages={254–260} } @article{campbell_parker_bennett_yusuf_al-rashdi_lustik_li_abolhasani_2018, title={Continuous Synthesis of Monodisperse Yolk-Shell Titania Microspheres}, volume={30}, ISSN={["1520-5002"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.8b04349}, DOI={10.1021/acs.chemmater.8b04349}, abstractNote={A microfluidic strategy is developed for continuous synthesis of monodisperse yolk–shell titania microspheres. The continuous flow synthesis of titania microparticles is achieved by decoupling the microdroplet formation and interfacial hydrolysis reaction steps by utilizing a polar aprotic solvent as the continuous phase in the microreactor. The decoupling of the precursor microdroplet formation and the hydrolysis reaction allows titania synthesis throughputs an order of magnitude higher than those previously reported in a single-channel flow reactor (∼0.1 g/h calcined microparticles), without affecting the microreactor lifetime due to clogging. Flow synthesis and dynamics across a broad range of precursor flow rates are examined, while effects of flow synthesis parameters, including the precursor to continuous phase flow rate ratio, precursor composition, and calcination temperature on the surface morphology, size, and composition of the resulting titania microparticles, are explored in detail.
