Microwave heating in heterogeneous catalysis: Modelling and design of rectangular traveling-wave microwave reactor

Microwave irradiation can intensify catalytic chemistry by selective and controlled microwave-catalytic packed-bed interaction. However, turning it to reality from laboratory to practical applications is hindered by challenges in the reactor design and scale-up. Here, we present a novel, rectangular traveling-wave microwave reactor (RTMR) and...

110th Anniversary: The Missing Link Unearthed: Materials and Process Intensification

For many years, process intensification has been seen and considered through the prism of equipment and methods. The current review paper adds a new perspective to it and examines the role of (advanced) materials in process intensification. The discussion is illustrated with numerous examples of various types of materials that have been shown...
