Process and Reaction Engineering

National Science Foundation
Deadline: August 15, 2010; February 1, 2011

The Process and Reaction Engineering program supports fundamental and applied research on:

• Rates and mechanisms of important classes of catalyzed and uncatalyzed chemical reactions as they relate to the design, production, and application of catalysts, chemical processes, biochemical processes, and specialized materials
• Chemical and biochemical phenomena occurring at or near solid surfaces and interfaces
• Electrochemical and photochemical processes of engineering significance or with commercial potential
• Design and optimization of complex chemical and biochemical processes
• Dynamic modeling and control of process systems and individual process units
• Reactive processing of polymers, ceramics, and thin films
• Interactions between chemical reactions and transport processes in reactive systems, and the use of this information in the design of complex chemical and biochemical reactors
