Abstract

AbstractIn the field of fine chemicals batch process the implementation of synthesis paths results most often in the determination of the optimal operating conditions on a bench scale apparatus; successive scale‐ups are then handled in an empirical way.For multi‐phase reactions, this approach can be limited due to the coupling between the chemical kinetics and the physical kinetics of the mass transfer. This work proposes a more rational approach for the overall synthesis of Amiodarone, a widely used anti‐arrhythmic drug produced by a liquid/liquid/solid reaction. After analysing the reaction scheme and identifying the limiting steps of the process, a simplified model is proposed to describe the overall process kinetics. The latter is used to model a continuous pilot loop‐reactor packed with static mixers.
