Aims and Scope
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering is aimed at capturing current developments and initiatives in chemical engineering related and specialised areas. Publishing six issues each year, the journal showcases innovative technological developments, providing an opportunity for technology transfer and collaboration.
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering will focus particular attention on the key areas of: Process Application (separation, polymer, catalysis, nanotechnology, electrochemistry, nuclear technology); Energy and Environmental Technology (materials for energy storage and conversion, coal gasification, gas liquefaction, air pollution control, water treatment, waste utilization and management, nuclear waste remediation); and Biochemical Engineering (including targeted drug delivery applications).
Formerly known as Developments in Chemical Engineering and Mineral Processing: The Australasian Research Journal, published by Curtin University of Technology in print only (ISSN:0969-1855).
