Chemical Intensification in Flow - Novel Process Windows

A view through novel process windows

This mini-review discusses some of the recent work on Novel Process Windows by the group of Micro Flow Chemistry and Process Technology at the Eindhoven University of Technology, and their associates. Novel Process Windows consist of unconventional approaches to boost chemical production, often requiring harsh reaction conditions at short to very short time-scales. These approaches are divided ...

Process Intensification in Multiphase Reactors

Introduction Applications of multiphase technology are prevalent in petroleum refining, synthesis gas conversion to fuels and chemicals, bulk commodity chemicals, specialty chemicals, conversion of undesired by-products to recyclable products, manufacture of polymers, biotechnology and pollution abatement. In these processes the reactor performance is crucial: it determines the number and size ...

Process intensification in mechanical pulping

Process intensification is a term used in the chemical process industry for major improvements in the process design leading to radical changes in process complexity, equipment size and efficiency. We suggest that a similar approach is applied in the pulp and paper industry. We have focused on the production of mechanical pulp, but a similar approach can be applied to other areas within the pul...
