The present invention relates to a method for conducting deracemization using Taylor flow and a device for conducting the same. With respect to the deracemization of a racemate, it may be efficiently conducted with improved rapidity when a racemate-containing fluid is placed under Taylor flow.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a continuous-flow reactor, methods of making metal nano-alloys, and metal nano-alloys.

A method for monitoring the production of a material such as graphene in a liquid dispersion in real time, comprises supplying the liquid dispersion to a fluid gap defined between a first layer and an opposed second layer, wherein the first layer is light-transmissive and wherein the second layer has a diffusely reflective surface facing the first layer. The diffusely reflective surface is illuminated with light from a light source and light reflected from the diffusely reflective surface is detected at an associated photodetector. A light path from the light source to the photodetector comprises the light passing through the transmissive layer towards the diffusely reflective surface through the fluid gap, reflecting off the diffusely reflective surface and passing back through the fluid gap towards and onwards through the transmissive layer.

The present invention provides an all-in-one type continuous reactor for preparing a positive electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery. The continuous reactor includes a flange unit provided at one side of a cylinder; at least one reactant inlet port provided on the flange unit; a reaction product outlet port provided at the other side of the cylinder; a plurality of extra ports provided between the reactant inlet port and the reaction product outlet port; a temperature control unit disposed between an inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface; a pulverizing unit provided in the reactant inlet port; a flow rate sensor provided in at least one of the reactant inlet port; and a flow rate control unit configured to control the flow rate of the reactant.
