Abstract
In most cases, ozonolysis is more sustainable and costeffective for the oxidative treatment of organic unsaturatedcompounds than other oxidation technologies. To enable thescalability of this challenging gas-liquid oxidation process, Lonzahas developed a novel approach that combines microreactors,a bench-scale reactor, and a large scale production reactor.The approach also includes laboratory feasibility studiesand technical transfer – with hazard evaluations and safetyassessments – to successful large scale manufacturing.
