Call for papers/Topics Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields: 1. Core Independent Foundations These are the fundamental engineering and scientific pillars. While they inform all three branches, they exist as distinct academic and practical bodies of knowledge. - Thermodynamics and Kinetics - Classical and statistical thermodynamics - Phase equilibria and chemical reaction equilibria - Homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction kinetics - Catalysis and reactor design - Transport Phenomena - Fluid mechanics (momentum transfer, rheology, and multiphase flow) - Heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation in industrial systems) - Mass transfer (diffusion, convective mass transport, and boundary layer theory) - Microbiology and Biochemistry - Cell structure, function, and metabolic pathways - Enzyme kinetics and inhibition - Genetics and molecular biology foundations - Environmental Chemistry and Ecology - Aquatic, atmospheric, and terrestrial chemistry - Ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity, and nutrient cycling (Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus cycles) - Ecotoxicology and pollutant behavior 2. Chemical Engineering This domain focuses on transforming raw materials into valuable products through chemical and physical processes. - Separation Processes - Distillation, absorption, and stripping - Liquid-liquid extraction and leaching - Membrane separations (reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration) - Adsorption and ion exchange - Process Systems Engineering - Process design, synthesis, and intensification - Process dynamics, optimization, and control systems - Plant safety, hazard analysis (HAZOP), and risk assessment - Materials and Polymer Engineering - Polymerization kinetics and processing - Nanomaterials and biomaterials synthesis - Corrosion, degradation, and materials selection 3. Biological and Bioprocess Engineering This domain applies engineering principles to living systems, organisms, and biological molecules. - Bioreactor Engineering - Design and scale-up of fermenters and bioreactors (stirred-tank, airlift, fluidized bed) - Batch, fed-batch, and continuous cultivation strategies - Aeration, agitation, and mass transfer limitations in biological fluids - Downstream Processing (Bioseparations) - Cell disruption and centrifugation - Chromatographic separations (affinity, ion-exchange, size-exclusion) - Lyophilization and formulation of biologics - Biomolecular and Genetic Engineering - Recombinant DNA technology and metabolic engineering - Synthetic biology and pathway design - Tissue engineering and cellular therapies 4. Environmental Engineering This domain focuses on protecting human health and minimizing the human footprint on the biosphere. - Water and Wastewater Treatment - Physical-chemical treatment processes (coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection) - Biological wastewater treatment (activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, biofilm reactors) - Advanced oxidation processes and desalination - Air Pollution Control and Air Quality - Particulate matter control (cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters) - Gaseous pollutant control (scrubbers, absorption, catalytic converters) - Atmospheric dispersion modeling - Solid and Hazardous Waste Management - Landfill design and leachate management - Hazardous waste stabilization and incineration - Nuclear waste disposal and containment 5. Highly Interrelated & Interdisciplinary Domains These topics sit directly at the intersections of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering, merging them into modern sustainable practices. - Bioremediation and Phytoremediation (Biological + Environmental) - Using microbes or plants to degrade environmental contaminants (oil spills, heavy metals, plastics) - In-situ versus ex-situ bio-treatment of soil and groundwater - Sustainable and Green Chemical Engineering (Chemical + Environmental) - Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon footprinting - Atom economy, benign solvent selection, and waste minimization at the source - Renewable energy storage (batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen economy) - The Circular Bioeconomy (Chemical + Biological + Environmental) - Biorefineries: Converting biomass and agricultural waste into biofuels, bioplastics, and platform chemicals - Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) via chemical and biological routes (e.g., algal carbon sequestration) - Waste-to-energy technologies (gasification, pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction) - Biosensors and Environmental Diagnostics (Biological + Chemical + Environmental) - Development of metabolic and enzymatic sensors for real-time pollutant tracking - Microfluidics and "lab-on-a-chip" devices for field testing water and soil safety
