Chemical Engineering Communications provides a forum for the publication of manuscripts reporting on results of both basic and applied research. All conventional areas of chemical engineering will be considered as well as topics in semiconductor processing, materials engineering, bioengineering, fluid mechanics, the molecular theory of equilibrium and transport properties, applied mathematics and computer-aided design. Chemical Engineering Communications publishes full-length research articles dealing with completed research projects on subjects such as experimentation (both techniques and data) and new theoretical models. Critical review papers reporting on the current state of the art in topical areas of chemical engineering are also welcome, as well as short communications and letters to the editor which give preliminary announcements of new theoretical concepts, new experimental data, innovative experimental techniques or novel concepts in data correlation. Since the emphasis is on original work in progress, the editors also encourage submission of accounts of tentative results, provided they are well documented. Commentaries on and discussion of previously published work are also considered. CEC is also a medium for the publication of special issues consisting of groups of articles on a particular theme or honoring a particularly outstanding person. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The Chemical Engineering Journal focuses upon three aspects of chemical engineering: chemical reaction engineering, environmental chemical engineering, and materials synthesis and processing.The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal and invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. The journal aims to provide an international forum for the presentation of original fundamental research, interpretative reviews and discussion of new developments in chemical engineering. Papers which describe novel theory and its application to practice are welcome, as are those which illustrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. Reports of carefully executed experimental work, which is soundly interpreted are also welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous research results which have generic significance.Within the Chemical Engineering Journal, the Environmental Chemical Engineering section presents papers dealing with topics in environmental chemical and process engineering. Treatment and environmental separation processes, pollution control and resources recovery, environmental bioprocesses, bioenergy, environmental nanotechnology, clean process technology and waste minimization include the topics which are covered. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with chemical engineering are especially welcome.Within the Chemical Engineering Journal, the Chemical Reaction Engineering section presents papers on a wide range of topics including reaction kinetics, applied catalysis, simulation and optimization of different types of reactors, unsteady-state reactors, multiphase reactors, and fundamental investigations of the processes of heat, mass and momentum transfer that take place along with chemical reaction. Research works addressing critical areas of reactor engineering (e.g. reactor materials, control strategies, reactor safety and environmental issues), and emerging reactor technologies (e.g. membrane reactors, chromatographic reactors, unconventional fluidized beds, electrochemical reactors, micro-reactors, etc.) are particularly welcome.Within the Chemical Engineering Journal, the Materials Synthesis and Processing section presents papers dealing with different aspects of the preparation and characterization of advanced materials. Novel physical and chemical methods of synthesis will be covered, as well as the processes used to obtain materials of different morphologies (particles, films, fibers), and to modify their surface and structural properties, always from a chemical engineering point of view. Manuscripts dealing with micro- and nano-structured materials, and those describing the preparation of composite and hybrid materials with advanced properties are especially welcome.Comments and Proposals: We are interested in receiving comments/feedback on this and our other journals and welcome publication proposals for books, electronic products, new journals and co-operation for existing journals.

ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering.Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.The journal publishes regular special issues focusing on specific topics, and issues dedicated to selected papers from major conferences.Core topic areas:Distillation and absorption• Hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer in separation equipment• Physical properties and thermodynamic models/methods• Process design, operation and intensification• Process equipment characterisation• Process modelling, simulation and optimisationFluid flow• All aspects of fluid flow in chemical and/or process vesselsHeat and mass transfer• Mechanisms of heat and mass transfer• Multicomponent mass transfer• Simulation of heat and mass transfer processes• Simultaneous heat and mass transferMaterials processing and product development• Fundamental properties of interest to processing of materials• Injection moulding of materials• In-line measurement and control of material processes• Morphological development processes• Pre-processing, shaping, multi-layering and finishing of final product form• Product design based on chemical engineering tools• Structure-function relationships in products and relevant systems• Tailoring chemical products and materials for end-use applicationsOil and natural gas production• Economics of upstream oil and gas development• Facilities• Oil and gas transport• Well and reservoir oil, gas and water flow behaviour• Well treatments and fracturingParticle technology• Crystallisation and precipitation• Design of particulate systems and processes• Formation and synthesis of particulates• Kinetics of particulate processes• Measurement and characterisation of particulate systems• Processing, handling and storage of powders and dispersions• Product formulation and rheologyPharmaceutical engineering• Design, modelling, operation and control of pharmaceutical (bio)reactors, unit operators and process systems used in the production of (bio)pharmaceuticals• Application of process analytical technology in pharmaceutical product and process design and characterisation• Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling• Design, characterisation and modelling of drug delivery systemsProcess systems engineering• Information modelling and analysis• Process design and integration• Process modelling, simulation and optimization• Process operations and control• Techno-economic analysisReaction engineering• Catalysis engineering• Process intensification• Reaction kinetics• Reactive flows• Reactor development, modelling and scale-upSeparation processes• Absorption science and technology • Green processes• Intensification and integration of separation processes• Molecular separation: membranes, chromatography• Phase separation: clarification, flocculation, microfiltration• Reactive separation processes: hybrid and novel separation techniques• Separation by phase change
