Process intensification (PI) has been established as a cluster of technologies able to produce more with less. While scientists around the globe advocate for new semantics that are increasingly tied to the notion of sustainability, what does the literature data say about PI? A Vosviewer bibliometric map of PI displays it as closely linked to the subjects of design, optimization, gas‐to‐liquid technologies, mass transfer, catalysis, and kinetics. We analyze the relationship between PI and these subjects while identifying misconceptions about the intensifying potential of some of them, as is the case for process optimization. We provide examples and summarize the recent technological trends for all these cases. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future of PI in which we identify elements that will be key to accelerate the adoption of PI technologies at the commercial scale.

流程集约化将规模和学科联系起来以实现可持续性

流程强化（PI）已建立为能够以更少的投入生产更多产品的技术集群。当全球的科学家提倡越来越与可持续性概念联系在一起的新语义时，文献数据对PI有何评论？PI的Vosviewer文献计量图显示它与设计，优化，气液技术，传质，催化和动力学等主题紧密相关。我们分析了PI与这些主题之间的关系，同时发现了对其中某些主题潜在潜力的误解，例如流程优化。我们提供示例并总结所有这些案例的最新技术趋势。最后，
