Call for Papers: RCE3S-26



 



Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:



1. Chemical Engineering 



These are the fundamental principles applied to sustainability challenges.





  • Transport Phenomena: Fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer.




  • Thermodynamics: Phase equilibria, chemical potential, and energy efficiency in cycles.




  • Reaction Engineering: Catalyst development, reactor design, and kinetics of green chemistry.




  • Process Synthesis & Design: Intensification (making processes smaller and more efficient) and "Cradle-to-Grave" design.





2. Renewable Energy & Energy Conversion



The shift from fossil fuels to sustainable power sources.





  • Solar Energy: Photovoltaic cell manufacturing and concentrated solar power (CSP).




  • Hydrogen Economy: * Water electrolysis (Green Hydrogen).





    • Hydrogen storage and transport.




    • Fuel cell technology (PEM, SOFC).






  • Bioenergy:





    • First to third-generation biofuels (ethanol, biodiesel, algae).




    • Biomass gasification and pyrolysis.






  • Energy Storage: Advanced battery chemistries (Lithium-ion, Solid-state, Redox flow) and thermal energy storage.





3. Environmental Sustainability & Remediation



Focused on cleaning up existing processes and protecting natural resources.





  • Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS):





    • Post-combustion and pre-combustion capture.




    • Carbon mineralization and CO2-to-fuel conversion.






  • Water Technology:





    • Desalination (Reverse osmosis, multi-stage flash).




    • Wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery.




    • Advanced oxidation processes.






  • Air Quality Engineering: Particulate matter control and scrubbing of SOx and NOx emissions.





4. Circular Economy & Waste Management



Moving away from a "linear" take-make-dispose model.





  • Plastic Upcycling: Chemical recycling and biodegradable polymer development.




  • Waste-to-Energy: Anaerobic digestion and incineration with energy recovery.




  • Sustainable Materials: Bio-based plastics and green solvents.




  • Industrial Ecology: Synergies where one industry's waste becomes another's raw material.





5. Assessment Tools & Systems Engineering



The "math" behind proving a process is actually sustainable.





  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Quantifying environmental impact from extraction to disposal.




  • Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA): Determining if a green technology is financially viable.




  • Process Integration: Pinch analysis for heat and water recovery.




  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Regulatory frameworks and compliance.
