Light fills a photochemical reactor, but heat tells the hidden story. In this post, we share how fast calorimetry and automation turned invisible heat signals into a visual model for continuous-flow photobromination.

Two UT San Antonio students have been named 2026 Barry Goldwater Scholars, a prestigious recognition for promising undergraduate sophomores and juniors who intend to pursue careers in research. Olivia Aubone, a junior mathematics major, and Jorge Vanegas, a junior chemical engineering major, are among 454 students selected this year from a national pool of nearly […] The post Two students were aw…

A practical Chemical Engineering Science (CES) submission guide for chemical engineers evaluating their work against the journal's fundamentals bar.

Chemical Engineering Journal and Journal of Cleaner Production overlap in sustainable engineering, but CEJ rewards engineering mechanism while JCP rewards cleaner production practice.

The ECS Detroit Section invites you to “Driving Electric Vehicle Battery Design with Atomistic Modeling” with Dr. Jeff Lowe of The post ECS Detroit Section Hosts “Driving Electric Vehicle Battery Design with Atomistic Modeling” appeared first on ECS .

Three-Dimensional Imaging of Emulsion Separation through Liquid-Infused Membranes Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy Song, Chen; Rutledge, Gregory C The removal of emulsified oils from water has always been a challenge due to the kinetic stability resulting from the small droplet size and the presence of stabilizing agents. Membrane technology can treat such mixtures, but fouling of the mem…

This next-generation membrane might change how hydrogen is refined. And the most surprising part isn’t just the outcome.

UCLA chemical engineers have mapped out a promising method to improve the conversion of propane gas into propene, the world’s second most widely produced plastic precursor

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Hilal Ezgi Toraman, assistant professor of energy and mineral engineering and of chemical engineering at Penn State, is one of five faculty recognized as a rising star in chemical engineering by the journal ACS Engineering Au for her work developing fundamental research on the utilization of pyrolysis — a chemical recycling process that heats plastic waste in an oxygen-free…

Journal evaluation Want the full picture on Chemical Engineering Journal? See scope, selectivity, submission context, and what editors actually want before you decide whether Chemical Engineering Journal is realistic. A fuller snapshot for authors Use Chemical Engineering Journal's impact factor as one signal, then stack it against selectivity, editorial speed, and the journal guide before you de…

Ah-Hyung “Alissa” Park, the Ronald and Valerie Sugar Dean of the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, has received the 2026 Francis P. Garvan-John M. Olin Medal from the American Chemical Society,

As the war in Iran continues to shock the energy supply chain, a global helium shortage is emerging as an unforeseen consequence. Helium, a byproduct of natural gas processing, is an important input to such end uses as semiconductor production, aerospace manufacturing, welding, machining, cryogenics, and MRI machines. [1]

Hydrogen liquefaction remains one of the most energy-intensive steps in the hydrogen value chain. This study proposes a liquid-nitrogen-precooled dual-pressure Claude cycle and evaluates its performance using a detailed steady-state Aspen HYSYS model incorporating realistic turbomachinery characteristics, distributed ortho–para conversion, and temperature-dependent heat-exchanger constraints. Sim…

Readiness scan Before you submit to Chemical Engineering Journal, pressure-test the manuscript. Run the Free Readiness Scan to catch the issues most likely to stop the paper before peer review. How to use this page well These pages work best when they behave like tools, not essays. Use the quick structure first, then apply it to the exact journal and manuscript situation. Quick answer: a strong C…

Next step Choose the next useful decision step first. Use the guide or checklist that matches this page's intent before you ask for a manuscript-level diagnostic. Quick answer: Chemical Engineering Journal (CEJ) doesn't enforce a strict word limit for research articles, but expect to keep your manuscript between 6,000 and 10,000 words of body text. The abstract is unstructured at 200 words maximu…

Next step Choose the next useful decision step first. Use the guide or checklist that matches this page's intent before you ask for a manuscript-level diagnostic. Quick answer: Chemical Engineering Journal charges roughly $4,200 for gold open access. It's a hybrid journal, so the subscription-based route costs authors nothing. The OA fee only applies if you choose to make your article freely avai…

Markus Schilling Technische Universität München Date: April 15, 2026 Time: 1000–1100h ET Pt-alloy/C catalysts, such as PtxCo/C, are used as cathode catalysts in proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells due to their exceptionally high kinetic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the performance and durability of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) with a PtxCo/C cathode cat…

Readiness scan Before you submit to Chemical Engineering Journal, pressure-test the manuscript. Run the Free Readiness Scan to catch the issues most likely to stop the paper before peer review. How to approach Chemical Engineering Journal Use the submission guide like a working checklist. The goal is to make fit, package completeness, and cover-letter framing obvious before you open the portal. Q…

Hands-on, practical education is the hallmark of engineering education at Michigan Tech. So when Samantha Cooper '27 saw the opportunity to conduct research with Assistant Professor Maria Gencoglu in a part of the chemical engineering field unfamiliar to her, she jumped at the chance. Cooper understands how valuable experiences are in addition to her coursework as a Husky. Having enjoyed chemistr…
