Promising Technologies for the Production of Low-Tonnage Chemical Products

An analysis of general approaches to organizing and developing the production of low-tonnage chemical products of organic nature is performed. A condition for manufacturers to successfully compete in the market of low-tonnage chemical products (LTCs) is the need to move from individual installations for obtaining them to flexible multi-product chemical–technological systems (CTSes). The possibility of using flow microreactor systems to synthesize small quantities of high-purity organic compounds are considered. Examples of developing a number of technologies for obtaining such organic compounds as captax, altax, furfural, benzguanamine, and di-chloro-di-para-xylylene are substantiated, along with a variety of integrated approaches to rationally organizing the production of low- and medium-tonnage products.
