Chemical reactions and separation in flows
Workshop
Chemical reactions and separation processes taking place in flows underlie many applications in environmental and industrial applications. The main ambition of this meeting is to bring together internationally acclaimed experts as well as young researchers, in order to share the latest experimental and theoretical developments in those fields. The objective will be to understand how flow conditions can be used to optimize the efficiency of reactions and of separation techniques but also how chemical reactions can tune flow and mixing properties. Emphasis will be put on the physical laws governing the micro- and nanoscale and the latest advancements in modelling fundamentals. The workshop will consist of a series of short sessions whose topics will cover chemo-hydrodynamics, microfluidics, environmental flows, simulations and modeling, multiphase flows, new reactors and bio-inspired systems, etc. Participants will discuss in a prestigious, yet relaxing atmosphere, ensuring great opportunities for networking with leading scientists from a broad range of complementary research areas.
