Special Issue—3rd European Process Intensification Conference
This issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design features four papers selected from over 90 presentations given at the 3rd European Process Intensification Conference (EPIC), which was held in Manchester, UK on 20th–23rd June 2011. I am delighted to be the guest editor for the selected papers, covering applications in CO2 capture by Zhang et al. (2012) of Technische Universität Dortmund, Germany; in sonochemical mineral carbonation by Santos et al. (2012) of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium; in biocatalytic oxidase by Jones et al. (2012) of C-Tech Innovation Ltd., UK and in novel system of oscillatory baffled reactors with helical coil inserts by Solano et al. (2012) of Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena, Spain. EPIC aimed to deliver the message that process intensification plays a key role in improving manufacturing in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, through more efficient use of reagents, solvents and energy whilst minimising the production of waste materials and providing lower risks to safety and the environment. I am confident that the subject of process intensification will continue and flourish, and look forward to the 4th EPIC in 2013.
