Catalytic/Bio-catalytic and Novel Processes for Sustainable Development

Abstract

In the last 2-3 decades the world has been witnessing an extensive wave of Multi-Disciplinary (MD) [or Cross–Disciplinary (CD)] research to advance in an extensive way all kinds of technologies. The main challenge is to introduce different kinds of techniques to radically improve the efficiency of different processes and introduce new processes relying on novel RRMs in order to achieve SD. This radical change from exhaustible non-RRMs to nonexhaustible RRMs requires new novel technologies to handle these new and novel RRMs. Not only that but the researches in these directions opened the doors wide open for challenging some of the earlier processes ceilings such as the thermo-dynamic equilibrium and product ceilings using membrane reactors and bio-reactors as well as other techniques.
