Future Development of Chemical Reaction Engineering

The chemical reaction engineering has become a relatively mature engineering discipline after its more than 50-year development. The future development of chemical reaction engineering was discussed from the following 3 aspects: the improvement of chemical reaction engineering theory, the personality in developing novel reaction equipment and the expansion of application scope of chemical reaction engineer- ing. It is shown that the chemical reaction engineering is still full of vigor and it will play an important role in solving the energy, resource and environmental problems for our society sustainable development.
