Education in Flow Chemistry

Chimia (Aarau). 2023 May 31;77(5):294-299. doi: 10.2533/chimia.2023.294.

Abstract

Flow chemistry is a growing and promising technology that can be used in research, development, and production. Nowadays, properly trained staff in flow chemistry is lacking in industry. To efficiently work with this technology, a mix of engineering and chemical skills is required. Although, this dual education is well addressed in the chemistry major given at the Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie et d'Architecture de Fribourg, a school of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland, the teaching in flow chemistry should be enhanced and reinforced.
