Autogeneous engineering

The energy of the first combustion phase with oxygen, the primary flame, has to be added. Only this energy is of importance in autogenous engineering, a considerable advantage compared to other fuel gases. 

Main application fields of autogenous engineering (cf. Section 8.5) ... 

Discontinuous (batch) processes are carried out in pressure vessels (autoclaves) where DMC is maintained as liquid by autogenous pressure. Instead, CF reactions at atmospheric pressure require that both DMC and the reagent(s) in the vapor phase come into contact with a catalytic bed a constraint that has spurred the development of new applications and alternative reaction engineering, namely, GL-PTC and the continuously fed stirred-tank reactor (CSTR).

Considering the advancements in nanotechnology and tissue engineering in recent years, there is a bright chance in the near future to formulate nanocomposite-based bone grafting methods to replace autogenic bone grafts.
