Chemical Engineering Communications provides a forum for the publication of manuscripts reporting on results of both basic and applied research in all areas of chemical engineering. The journal's audience includes researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, and government.
Chemical Engineering Communications publishes full-length research articles dealing with completed research projects on subjects such as experimentation (both techniques and data) and new theoretical models. Critical review papers reporting on the current state of the art in topical areas of chemical engineering are also welcome; submission of these is strongly encouraged.
CEC is also a medium for the publication of special issues consisting of groups of articles on a particular theme or honoring a particularly outstanding person.
The scope of the journal reflects the expanding role of chemical engineering in a variety of areas. Research areas include, but are not limited to:
reactors and reaction engineering
catalysis
kinetics
separation processes
thermodynamics
process control
bioengineering
fluid mechanics
transport phenomena
crystallization
electrochemical processes
materials engineering
waste treatment
fluidization
polymer engineering
nanotechnology
semiconductor processing
applied mathematics
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
