Process intensification offers the potential to drastically reduce the energy consumption and
cost of producing chemicals from both bulk and distributed feedstocks. This review article …

Extractive distillation processes enable the separation of non-ideal mixtures, including
minimum or maximum boiling azeotropes and low relative volatility mixtures. Unlike …

Process intensification (PI) is a rapidly growing field of research and industrial development
that has already created many innovations in chemical process industry. PI is directed …

The ability to efficiently and selectively process mixed polymer waste is important to address
the growing plastic waste problem. Herein, we report that the combination of ZnCl2 and an …

The need for greater sustainability for the production of fuels and chemicals has spurred
significant research to rethink energy use in the chemical industry, and eventually substitute …

Reactive distillation process, a representative process intensification technology, has been
widely applied in the chemical industry. However, due to the strong interaction between …

The scarcity of fossil fuels in medium and long term has led to several researchers to
propose different alternatives to replace them, where the biodiesel had been proposed as …
