Optimization and Continuous Synthesis of Artemisinin Using Core-Shell Nano-Catalysts by Means of Micro-Rector
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemeini, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Artemisinin as a natural peroxide possess a high anti parasite, and antivirus (Covid-19) properties which could be synthesized through the photooxygenation of dihydroartemisinic acid. This production possesses a lot of difficulties, for example, homogeneous catalyst is used for the photooxygenation reaction which makes photocatalyst and solvent non-reusable. In addition, separation of products from solvent and photocatalysts is difficult. Photooxygenation needs high pressure and low temperature which is very costly. Besides, because of several by-products which are producing during photooxygenation and protonation reactions, Artemisinin yield decreases. The aim of this study is to optimize...
