Thermophysical Properties and Phase Behavior of Fluids for Application in Carbon Capture and Storage Processes
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 381-402 - 2017
Phase behavior and thermophysical properties of mixtures of carbon dioxide with
various other substances are very important for the design and operation of
carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes. The available empirical data are
reviewed, together with some models for the calculation of these properties. The
systems considered in detail are, first, mixtures of carbon dioxide, water, and
salts;...
The Energy-Water-Food Nexus
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 239-262 - 2016
As the global population grows in size and increasingly lives in cities, and
with lifestyles based on greater material consumption, more attention is being
given to the integrated system that supplies our energy, water, and food, the
Nexus. There is also mounting concern about effects on the Nexus of climate
change and damage to the natural environment that provides essential ecosystem
services. N...
Nature-Inspired Chemical Engineering for Process Intensification
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 187-215 - 2021
A nature-inspired solution (NIS) methodology is proposed as a systematic
platform for innovation and to inform transformative technology required to
address Grand Challenges, including sustainable development. Scalability,
efficiency, and resilience are essential to nature, as they are to engineering
processes. They are achieved through underpinning fundamental mechanisms, which
are grouped as rec...
Metabolic Engineering: Past and Future
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 259-288 - 2013
We present here a broad overview of the field of metabolic engineering,
describing in the first section the key fundamental principles that define and
distinguish it, as well as the technological and intellectual developments over
the past approximately 20 years that have led to the current state of the art.
Discussion of concepts such as metabolic flux analysis, metabolic control
analysis, and ra...
Atmospheric Aerosols: Clouds, Chemistry, and Climate
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 427-444 - 2017
Although too small to be seen with the human eye, atmospheric particulate matter
has major impacts on the world around us, from our health to global climate.
Understanding the sources, properties, and transformations of these particles in
the atmosphere is among the major challenges in air quality and climate research
today. Significant progress has been made over the past two decades in
understan...
Metabolic Engineering for the Production of Natural Products
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 211-236 - 2011
Natural products and their derivatives play an important role in modern
healthcare as frontline treatments for many diseases and as inspiration for
chemically synthesized therapeutics. With advances in sequencing and recombinant
DNA technology, many of the biosynthetic pathways responsible for the production
of these chemically complex yet valuable compounds have been elucidated. With an
ever-expa...
Biodegradable Polyesters from Renewable Resources
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 143-170 - 2013
Environmental concerns have led to the development of biorenewable polymers with
the ambition to utilize them at an industrial scale. Poly(lactic acid) and
poly(hydroxyalkanoates) are semicrystalline, biorenewable polymers that have
been identified as the most promising alternatives to conventional plastics.
However, both are inherently susceptible to brittleness and degradation during
thermal pro...
Charged Polymer Membranes for Environmental/Energy Applications
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 111-133 - 2016
Ion exchange membranes are used in various membrane-based processes (e.g.,
electrodialysis, fuel cells). Charged solute transport is largely governed by
the charged groups on the polymer backbone. In this review, fundamental
relationships describing salt permeability and ionic conductivity, as well as
water permeability, in charged polymers are developed within the framework of
the Nernst-Planck a...
Shape-Controlled Metal Nanocrystals for Heterogeneous Catalysis
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 327-348 - 2016
The ability to control the shape of metal nanocrystals allows us to not only
maneuver their physicochemical properties but also optimize their activity in a
variety of applications. Heterogeneous catalysis, in particular, would benefit
tremendously from the availability of metal nanocrystals with controlled shapes
and well-defined facets or surface structures. The immediate benefits may
include si...
Experimental Methods for Phase Equilibria at High Pressures
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 343-367 - 2012
Knowledge of high-pressure phase equilibria is crucial in many fields, e.g., for
the design and optimization of high-pressure chemical and separation processes,
carbon capture and storage, hydrate formation, applications of ionic liquids,
and geological processes. This review presents the variety of methods to measure
phase equilibria at high pressures and, following a classification, discusses
th...
