Optimum catalyst selection over continuous and discrete process variables with a single droplet microfluidic reaction platform

A mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) algorithm to optimize catalyst turnover number (TON) and product yield by simultaneously modulating discrete variables - catalyst types - and continuous variables - temperature, residence time, and catalyst loading - was implemented and validated. Several si...
