Modeling and Optimization of Gas-Solid Reaction Vessels

Dear Colleagues,

Gas–solid reaction vessels (e.g., fluidized beds, fixed beds, moving beds, etc.) are widely used in many industrial areas, such as chemical engineering, power engineering, or metallurgy. Reactor modeling, a powerful tool for understanding the performance of the process via simulating operating conditions outside the experimentally tested ranges, has increasingly developed into an irreplaceable part of the design, scale-up, and optimization of different reaction systems. Recently, modeling reaction vessels with sophisticated geometrical configurations and complex chemical reaction systems is also becoming feasible with the development of numerical methodologies and computational facilities.

This Special Issue of Processes, “Modeling and Optimization of Gas-Solid Reaction Vessels” aims to present the latest achievements in modeling associated with various gas–solid reaction vessels and address the current challenges in industrial applications. Modeling topics include but are not limited to hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer, looping processes, energy conversion and storage, combustion and gasification, pollution control, CO₂ capture, and other technologies associated with the gas–solid reaction vessels.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
