Esterification reaction

Using the Milestone RotoSYNTH, water is continuously removed from the reaction mixture, shifting the equilibrium toward the ester formation and improving the reaction yield.

Formation of crystalline Nanoparticles

Due to the unique rotative stirring and to the highly homogeneous and fast heating, the nanoparticles crystallization is almost instantaneous, resulting in anhydrous oxide materials with low defect concentration.
