Advanced Chemical Reaction Process Engineering

Tomohiko TAGAWA Professor

Department: School of Engineering / Graduate School of Engineering

Course Overview

Course Overview

This lecture concerns chemical reaction engineering, which is one of the main pillars of chemical engineering, summarizing recent activities for establishing new concepts of reaction engineering. It will introduce how fundamental knowledge of reaction engineering is rebuilt into a new concept using the key word "sustainability". The lecture deals with four important categories: catalysis engineering, integration of reaction and separation, reactor engineering and engineering of reaction fields.

Key Features

This lecture uses an original textbook edited by the Society of Chemical Engineers of Japan, Tohkai branch, and the Division of Reaction Engineering. In the first lesson, an outline and objective of the lecture will be given. In the second lesson, the role of reaction engineering on the process development will be summarized. The four categories mentioned above will then be followed on a class by class basis. Each lecture, the relationship between experiments using the new concept and sustainable society will be introduced using actual examples.
