Overview
Chemical reactions all around us
Chemical reaction engineering (CRE) embraces a wide variety of chemical reactions involving all the three states of matter: gas, liquid, and solid. Till recently, it was confined to reactor sizes encountered in typical inorganic and organic conversions, such as those in the fertilizer, petrochemical, and organic chemicals industries. In Table O.1, we summarize the classes of reactions with respect to the states of aggregation of the contacting phases and an example. They are considered in varying degrees of detail, appropriate to their importance and the state of development, in the subsequent chapters of the book.
