Induction heating is applied to thermochemical processes in specially adapted chemical processing units comprising heat exchange channels. Collections of components are housed in portable units adapted for easy setup and maintenance.

Provided are multi-phase heating systems for bidispersed and polydispersed particle applications. Provided is a multi-phase reactor comprising a reaction chamber for containing a catalyst wherein the catalyst reacts with a fluid material. A heating system arranged around the reaction chamber comprises a first heater for heating a core of the chamber and a second heater for heating a periphery of the chamber, where combined heating from the first and second heaters provide the reaction chamber at a temperature for clustering of the fluid material for reaction with the catalyst. Also provided is an additive manufacturing printer comprising a first heater for heating a core of the chamber and a second heater for heating a periphery of the chamber, wherein combined heating from the first and second heaters provide the chamber at a temperature for clustering of printable material for extrusion through a nozzle.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis. In particular, the present invention is related to a for preparing a salt of isocyclosporin A, in particular by transesterification of cyclosporin A into a salt of isocyclosporin A.

A continuous flow process and system for depolymerizing plastic. A heterogeneous mixture of solid plastic particles, a solvent, and a catalyst are pumped continuously through a heating zone at a flow rate resulting in a particle speed sufficient to keep the plastic particles in suspension. The heterogeneous mixture is heated in the heating zone and maintained in a hold zone to complete depolymerization of the mixture into a homogeneous solution containing a liquefied reaction product. The homogeneous solution is cooled to solidify and precipitate a solid reaction product. The solid reaction product is separated from the solvent to be recycled. Contaminants are removed from the solvent, and the solvent is recirculated for use as a constituent of the heterogeneous mixture.
