This paper deals with the actual problems related to the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles, ensuring stability and effective interfacial interaction in polymer systems, which are critical for achieving the specified performance characteristics of materials. A comparative analysis of nanocomposites using carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, nanodispersed silica, aerogels, and other nanostructured modifiers was performed. Optimal choice of nanofiller has been shown to significantly improve the mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, conductive, and barrier characteristics of composites, which expands their application in fields such as biomedicine, electronics, energy, ecology, and construction.

The selection of collectors with strong collection ability and good selectivity for scheelite, as well as depressants with high selectivity for gangue minerals, is crucial.

This review highlights recent advances in material design, theoretical modeling, and data-driven discovery. Focus is given to visible-light-active semiconductors with optimal band gaps (1.8–2.4 eV), such as BiVO4, g-C3N4, and CdS, which enable efficient redox reactions. Hybrid architectures, including Pt-loaded TiO2 and CdS/ZnS core–shell systems, demonstrate hydrogen evolution rates exceeding 105 mol m−2 s−1. Upconversion nanomaterials based on rare-earth-doped fluorides extend light harvesting into the NIR, enhancing quantum yields when combined with quantum dots. Engineered heterojunctions and carbon-based 2D interfaces improve charge separation and suppress recombination. Thermodynamic parameters such as low overpotentials (<0.3 V) and high absorption coefficients (>105 cm−1) correlate with high catalytic efficiency. Time-dependent simulations and density functional theory (DFT) offer insights into structure–property relationships. Additionally, machine learning models expedite discovery by navigating complex compositional and structural spaces. While integrating theoretical, experimental, and AI-driven approaches, this review presents a framework for the rational design of scalable photocatalysts that meet future energy demands.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145181136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The polyaddition reaction of isocyanates, categorized as CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reprotoxic), and polyols produces commercial PUs. As a result of numerous concerns about the toxic and hazardous properties of isocyanates, which limit their utilization, researchers are being encouraged to develop alternative processes for producing PUs. Nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) are synthesized using a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to replace the toxic, hazardous, and detrimental characteristics of isocyanates. Among NIPU’s synthesis methods, aminolysis of cyclic carbonates (CCs), transurethanization, ring-opening polymerization (ROP), and rearrangement are included, with aminolysis of CCs emerging as a potential approach. Novel approaches to obtain materials with improved performance, such as functional groups like acrylates, methacrylates, POSS, and epoxies, may be necessary. Consequently, different approaches for hybrid polyhydroxyurethanes (PHUs) and distinct prepolymerization techniques for NIPUs are delineated. This review work is divided into two sections. The initial section focuses entirely on isocyanate-based methodologies for producing commercial PUs, while the subsequent section is exclusively dedicated to synthesizing NIPUs. This review encompasses all methods employed to produce commercial PUs, NIPUs, and H-NIPUs.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144770072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, low alumina-to-silica ratio bauxite necessitates pretreatment to enhance its quality, ensuring compliance with the feedstock specifications of the Bayer process. Flotation technology, emerging as an efficacious desilication pretreatment approach, has garnered considerable attention and demonstrated substantial application potential in bauxite desilication. This study comprehensively analyses the chemical composition and mineralogical characteristics of bauxite, systematically elucidating and contrasting the advantages of direct and reverse flotation collectors and auxiliary reagents. Furthermore, it delves into the distinct mechanisms of action these reagents exhibit with diaspore and aluminosilicate minerals.

Recent advancements in membrane materials have demonstrated significant improvements in antifouling performance, flux stability, and contaminant removal. Innovative membrane designs are also reviewed for their potential to enhance adaptability and multifunctionality. Real-world case studies highlight the operational feasibility and economic advantages of GDU systems, while identifying key barriers such as long-term reliability, feedwater variability, and limited community-based monitoring capacity.

Since then, the application of MINLP has expanded to encompass control and operational decisions that are in line with the arising challenges faced by the industry, e.g., sustainability, competitive markets, and volatile supply chain environments. Nowadays, process plants are transitioning from traditional manufacturing practices to automated solutions able to integrate decision-making within manufacturing enterprises. This paradigm shift aims to increase profits, optimize resource utilization efficiency, promote long-term sustainability, minimize waste, and enhance responsiveness under uncertainties and perturbations. Accordingly, the development of reliable, computationally efficient, and robust MINLP algorithms capable of simultaneously handling process design, planning, scheduling, or control decisions are crucial to achieving Industry 4.0 integration goals. This work explores potential research opportunities and recent advances toward the development of integrated decision-making frameworks, focusing on their underlying state-of-the-art optimization tools. We provide an overview of emerging deterministic MINLP optimization algorithms for simultaneous decision-making problems. Furthermore, we constructively discuss the versatility and limitations of these optimization tools. We also highlight how novel optimization theories, both within and outside the chemical engineering domain, can be incorporated into advanced MINLP frameworks suitable for process integration.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
