In the last ten years, number of publications related to process intensification (PI) has been quadrupled. This increasing interest that created many innovations can be found not only in chemo-catalytic processes but also reached field enzymatic processes. The recent scientific and technological advances bioprocess have dedicated improving use enzymes selective oxidative reactions, obtaining mo...

Although the membrane process is recognized as a green technology and is considered as a key player in the process intensification movement, it is not widely known that the fabrication of membrane itself generates significant amount of waste. With the growing membrane market, more efforts must be placed on improving the sustainability of membrane fabrication such as replacing toxic organic solv...

As an alternative to the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) based on the Skarstrom cycle or its variants, a novel two-bed PSA--called duplex PSA--has been proposed by Hirose and independently by Leavitt to get both products of high purities. Simulation and experimental studies on duplex PSA for CO2 capture indicate that CO2 can be enriched to 95 mol% of feed containing 20 mol% CO2 and 80 mol% N2. ...

Process intensification strategy (PIS) is emerging as an interesting guideline to revolutionize process industry in terms of improved efficiency and sustainability. Membrane engineering has appeared as a strong candidate to implement PIS. The most significant progress has been observed in desalination where substantial reduction in overall energy demand, environmental footprint, and process haz...
