Madej, Łukasz (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)BACKGROUND: Epichlorohydrin (ECH) production is an important industrial process, owing to its importance in windmill blade manufacture, but it suffers from several drawbacks such as high energy use, large wastewater production and low atom efficiency. This original study investigates a novel chlorohydrin-free technology with an enhanced...journal article 2023

Zhao, Guofeng (author), Moulijn, J.A. (author), Kapteijn, F. (author), Dautzenberg, Frits M. (author), Xu, Bin (author), Lu, Yong (author)Heterogeneous catalysis plays a pivotal role in the current chemical and energy vectors production. Notably, to fully utilize the intrinsic activity and selectivity of a catalyst, the chemical reactor has to be designed and operated optimally to achieve enhanced heat/mass transfer, well-defined contact time of reactants, uniform flow pattern,...journal article 2023

Burek, Bastien O. (author), Dawood, A.W.H. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Liese, Andreas (author), Holtmann, Dirk (author)Enzyme catalysis, made tremendous progress over the last years in identification of new enzymes and new enzymatic reactivity’s as well as optimization of existing enzymes. However, the performance of the resulting processes is often still limited, e.g., in regard of productivity, realized product concentrations and the stability of the enzymes....journal article 2022

Bakker, J.J.W. (author)The performance of heterogeneous catalysts in multiphase reactions in general is governed by different types of extrinsic and intrinsic structural effects on all length scales, i.e., on the macro- (m to cm), meso- (mm to µm), and microlevel (nm). This PhD research, with a catalysis-engineering approach, focused on several of these multiscale...doctoral thesis 2012

Radacsi, N. (author)Crystallization is one of the oldest separation and product formation techniques that continues to be in use today. Despite its long history, it only started to develop significantly in the past few decades. In this thesis, the application of Process Intensification in crystallization is investigated. Process Intensification is a set of often...doctoral thesis 2012
