This review-perspective paper describes the current state-of-the-art in the field of rotating
reactors. The paper has a focus on rotating reactor technology with applications at lab scale …

Gasification is the thermochemical conversion of solid fuel into the gas which contains
mainly hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen. In gasification …

Due to the exceptional multiphase mixing and mass transfer performance, gas–liquid vortex
units (GLVUs) have great potential for solvent-based applications such as CO2 capture. The …

Innovative gas-solid fluidized beds with process intensification capabilities are among the
most promising alternatives for the current state of the art in the chemical industry. In the …

The surface-to-bed heat transfer coefficient is an important engineering parameter for
quantifying the heat transfer capability of fluidized beds. In this study, computational fluid …

Process intensification in gas–solid fluidization processes can be achieved by working in a
centrifugal rather than a gravitational field. In this regard, the gas–solid vortex unit (GSVU) is …

This review deals with gas–solid fluidized beds in vortex chambers. High-G fluidization can
be achieved in a static geometry and allows significant process intensification. Thin, dense …

Abstract Design and scale-up of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) riser is still largely empirical,
owing to limited understanding of inherent multiphase flow in this equipment. The …

Whereas detailed kinetic models have already been implemented widely in computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of gas-phase processes, CFD modeling of reactive gas …
