As an international peer-reviewed research journal, the Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly (Chem. Ind. Chem. Eng. Q.) invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research related to the chemical industry and chemical engineering and connected areas. Papers describing novel theory and its application to practice, as well as those reporting experimental work that is soundly interpreted, are welcome. The Journal invites contributions to the following two main areas: Applied Chemistry dealing with the application of basic chemical sciences to industry Chemical Engineering dealing with the chemical and biochemical conversion of raw materials into different products, as well as the design and operation of plants and equipment. The Journal welcomes contributions focused on the following: Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Heat, mass, and momentum transfer Reactor, equipment, and downstream processing modelling, simulation, and design Novel reactors (membrane, chromatographic, electrochemical reactors, micro-reactors, ) Scale up and scale down design Applied catalysis, kinetics, and modelling Separation science and technology Particle technology and fluidization Process Systems Engineering Process dynamics, monitoring, and control Process modelling, simulation, and optimization Process design, integration, operation, and intensification Techno-economic analysis Environmental Chemical and Process Engineering Treatment processes Environmental separation processes Environmental bioprocesses Environmental nanotechnology Clean process technology Green processes Materials synthesis and processing Novel physical and chemical methods of synthesis of advanced materials Novel materials (micro- and nano-structured materials, composite, and hybrid materials, ) of different morphologies (particles, films, fibres) Product design based on chemical engineering tools Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Engineering Design, modelling, operation, and control of pharmaceutical (bio)reactors, Unit operations and process systems used in the production of pharmaceutic and cosmetic products Food and Bioproducts Processing Plant, process, and product design Unit operations, process modelling, and optimization in food engineering Heating and cooling methods, including freezing, pasteurization, and thermal sterilization Non-thermal processes Process Technology Industrial biotechnology Separation and purification technologies Biorefining Papers primarily focus on pure chemical sciences such as analytical, biochemical, food, environmental, inorganic, medicinal, microbiological, organic, pharmaceutical, physical or polymer chemistry, and natural sciences (biology, microbiology, etc.) are strongly discouraged. Theoretical papers that do not include chemical engineering applications or do not contribute new ideas or research directions to applied chemistry and chemical engineering are also inappropriate.
