Abstract
The quest for efficient, sustainable chemical processes drives the advancement of process intensification methods. This study evaluates vortex technology, which utilizes controlled, confined swirling flows to enhance mixing and mass and heat transfer, improving process efficiency. Its potential is assessed by examining its principles, design and optimization parameters, current and prospective applications, and challenges in scaling up and commercialization. It is particularly suited when enhanced efficiency in mixing, transport performance, and cavitation is required, especially in systems involving fast reactions, short residence times, and space constraints. Furthermore, it shows promise in developing compact and efficient contacting devices with reduced energy consumption.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published.
The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are:
1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic.
2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic.
The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts.
Themed sections:
Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering:
1. Nanotechnology
2. Energy and environmental engineering
3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery)
5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.)
6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials).
7. Process systems engineering
8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
