Reaction engineering research property

In the last years increasing research activities in the fields of membrane science [1, 2], chemical sensors [3], confined matter [4] and micro-reaction engineering [5] have evoked a new interest on porous glass membranes. Furthermore, such membranes are ideal model systems for the investigation of transport processes in porous structures. This broad spectrum of applications demands variable texture properties.

Transport and reaction will continue to be the core of chemical engineering in the twenty-first century, but research in chemical engineering must change in order to adapt to the economic demands and play an important role in the process of integration of cross disciplines (Li, 2008). The research of transport and reaction in mesoscale becomes the forefront of chemical engineering research in the twenty-first century, while the regulation of the structure of nanoscale materials to microstructure of molecules of the fluid and the effect of transport on the catalytic properties are the key... 

The development of new and improved catalysts requires advances in our understanding of how to make catalysts with specified properties the relationships between surface stracture, composition, and catalytic performance the dynamics of chemical reactions occurring at a catalyst surface the deployment of catalytic surface within supporting microstracture and the dynamics of transport to and from that surface. Research opportmuties for chemical engineers are evident in four areas catalyst synthesis, characterization of surface stracture, surface chemistry, and design.
