2024 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Decarbonization by Electrification: Thermal Reactors & Reactions I

The decarbonization of the chemical industry is of urgent need to address climate change and global carbon emission regulations. The decarbonization of the chemical industry through electrification with renewable energy is a topic that is cross-cutting across the society. In this sub-topical, electrified reactions and reactors for decarbonization will be presented. Examples include reactor designs, reaction engineering, and study of reactions applied to resistive heating of traditional reactors; electrochemical, microwave, and plasma reactors and reactions.
