New horizons in photochemistry: light as a tool in chemical reaction technology
Cooperation between Peschl Ultraviolet GmbH with Hahn-Schickard in Ulm and the Photochemical Reaction Engineering working group at the University of Ulm
During their visit to Hahn-Schickard in Ulm, Alexander Peschl, CEO of Peschl Ultraviolet GmbH, and Prof. Dr. Dirk Ziegenbalg, head of the Photochemical Reaction Engineering working group at the Institute of Chemical Engineering at the University of Ulm, discussed future-oriented cooperation opportunities with Hahn-Schickard in the field of photochemistry. Photoreactors use light energy to activate chemical reactions, enabling synthesis processes at lower temperatures and with minimal formation of by-products. This environmentally friendly and efficient process opens up new ways of synthesizing a wide range of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Initial approaches for cooperation are based on the synergy between Peschl Ultraviolet's advanced UV photoreactor technology and Hahn-Schickard's expertise in process optimization and analytics. Peschl Ultraviolet, an international company headquartered in Mainz, Germany, is a leader in the development and global distribution of UV photoreactor systems used in industrial, medical and environmental applications. Prof. Ziegenbalg and his team bring extensive knowledge in the development and optimization of photochemical reactions, supporting fundamental research and technological innovation. This cooperation aims to jointly set new standards for the use of light as a tool in chemical reaction technology.
