This question is very necessary due to my ongoing research in trying to establish an already synthesize and tested material as heterogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis.
Dear Inanoremhe, thank your for this interesting and important technical question. There are very many useful articles on these topics availabe in the chemical literature. For example, please have a look at the following useful Open Access article entitled "Heterogeneous Catalysis on Metal Oxides" (see attached pdf file). I also suggest that you check the "Publications" section of RG to find and access many more relevant references. For example, search for terms like "surface area of heterogeneous catalysts" etc. and then click on "Publications". This will provide you with a long clist of helpful articles which have been posted on RG, many of them even as public full texts.
Good luck with your work!
Inanoremhe Aloaye Samuel, There are no general rules or general advices here. Each catalytic process requires an individual approach. With such a general question (without specifying the chemical reactions, catalyst and reactor type), all I can do is point out a few references. Books by Fogler, Doraiswamy and Sharma or Bischoff and Froment may be helpful.
Thanks @ Frank T. Eldelmann and @ miroslaw Grzesik. @ Grzesik the reaction is solvent free aldol condensation reaction.
Dear Inanoremhe, many thanks for your information and clarification about your reaction of interests. More detailed information about heterogeneously catalyzed solvent-free aldol condensation the "Publications" section of RG also holds various useful references. For example, please go through the following interesting article:
NH4H2PO4/SiO2: A recyclable, efficient heterogeneous catalyst for crossed aldol condensation reaction
Article NH4H2PO4/SiO2: a recyclable, efficient heterogeneous catalys...
This paper has been posted on RG as public full text and can be freely downloaded as pdf file. Also please have a look at the following Open Access research paper:
Solvent-Free Selective Condensations Based on the Formation of the Olefinic (C=C) Bond Catalyzed by Organocatalyst
Article Solvent-Free Selective Condensations Based on the Formation ...
With best wishes, Frank Edelmann
Inanoremhe Aloaye Samuel, One still need to know what the reactor type is, although it will probably be a semibatch reactor. It is also worth knowing if the process will be catalysed, and if so, what the catalyst is. One should also not forget to specify the substrates and stoichiomeric equation/s.
