title: Intensified reaction and separation systems.
abstract: Process intensification follows four main goals: to maximize the effectiveness of intra- and intermolecular events, to give each molecule the same processing experience, to optimize the driving forces/maximize specific interfacial areas, and to maximize the synergistic effects of partial processes. This paper shows how these goals can be reached in reaction and separation systems at all relevant time and length scales and is focused on the structuring of reactors and separation units, on the use of different energy forms to improve the reaction and separation, on combining and superimposing of different phenomena in one integrated unit or reactor, and on the application of oscillations for intensification of reaction and separation processes.
