Wu et al. [19] have analyzed the intensification of industrial mixing. An important element for process intensification is to increase mixing rate, heat transfer rate and mass transfer rate. A range of methods have been reviewed by Wu et al. [19], for both conventional stirred reactors and alternative forms of reactors, all with the aim of achieving process intensification through enhanced mixing, heat and mass transfer.

In many cases where mass transfer occurs between a liquid and a vapor, micro technology offers the advantage of process intensification through control of the liquid phase thickness. This intensification often occurs because the diffusivity is typically orders of magnitude lower in the liquid phase than in the gas phase hence, control of the liquid thickness decreases the primary impedance to mass transfer. This control benefits operations such as absorption and desorption, and processes based on these phenomena.
