Due to the crucial importance of injecting chemical inhibitors to mitigate mineral scaling, several testing techniques have been developed to evaluate their performance. The evaluation methods used can be classified as electrochemical, non-electrochemical, or static and dynamic. However, to date, there has been no comprehensive review of the literature that exhaustively groups and compares these different approaches, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and complementarity. To fill this gap, this review outlines these evaluation methods and explores their suitability and limitations in different systems. Furthermore, the review examines whether laboratory evaluation techniques are suitable for use in the field. It covers the main methods established thus far, focusing on determining whether they represent a scaling formation process that occurs in real life. This study concluded that the type of scales precipitated and the field conditions influence the selection of the optimal evaluation method. Furthermore, the use of multiple experiments yields complementary information for a comprehensive study of scale crystallization and inhibition.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":"127 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145822760","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}

Conventional thermochemical waste management techniques, such as pyrolysis and gasification, offer partial solutions but suffer from secondary pollutant formation, inefficiencies, and scalability issues. Thermal plasma-assisted processes, operating at extreme temperatures of 1,500–5,000 °C, present a promising alternative by leveraging high-energy plasma arcs to achieve complete waste destruction, converting plastic into syngas and inert slag while minimizing hazardous by-products like dioxins and tars. Despite being studied over decades, the commercialization of plasma technologies remains limited due to high capital costs, proprietary technology barriers, and suboptimal reactor designs. The scalability of these systems depends on optimizing energy efficiency and feedstock adaptability, which can be addressed through advanced reactor design. This review systematically evaluates thermal plasma technology for plastic waste treatment through chemical engineering analysis of plasma-specific reaction kinetics under rapid heating conditions, coupled heat/mass modelling in high-temperature reactors, and computational optimization of torch configurations and reactor geometries. Key knowledge gaps are analyzed, including electrode erosion dynamics, plasma gas selection trade-offs, unaddressed radiation effects, and lack of thermal plasma-specific kinetic-modelling and experimentation, while presenting strategies to overcome these limitations through both modeling and experimental approaches.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":"145 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145610920","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}

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.

Scheelite is the main source of tungsten resources, but its low grade, fine embedded particle size and complex associated relationships make its efficient separation from gangue difficult. The surface properties and dissolution characteristics of scheelite, which are similar to calcium-containing minerals such as calcite, fluorite, and garnet, further complicate the separation process. 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. Based on the detailed introduction of scheelite crystal structure, anisotropy, this study comprehensively outlines the types of scheelite flotation collectors and depressants and their action mechanisms, focuses on the performance of new types of scheelite collectors and depressants that have been researched and developed in recent years, elaborates on the application of combined depressants and combined collectors in scheelite flotation, points out the future research direction of high-efficiency collectors and depressants and provides guidance for the development of new chemicals and new processes in scheelite flotation.","PeriodicalId":54485,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Chemical Engineering","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145454608","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}

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}
