Workshop: Scale-up in Chemistry – From flask to vessel
???? Friedrich Schiller University Jena · Seminarraum 122
August-Bebel-Str. 4 · 07743 Jena
You work in a chemistry lab – but have you ever wondered what it really takes to turn a milliliter into a ton? Scaling up a successful laboratory synthesis to industrial production is one of the biggest challenges in chemical process development. In this workshop, you will explore why processes that work well in the lab may fail at larger scales and which physical limitations, safety requirements, and economic factors need to be considered. Together, we will identify common pitfalls, discuss strategies to overcome them, and examine how to design robust chemical processes with scale-up in mind. You are welcome to bring examples and challenges from your own laboratory work for discussion.
