The April issue of Can. J. Chem. Eng. is now available! Be sure to check out the two latest additions to the Established Leaders Special Series: “History of nitroxide mediated polymerization in Canada” by Milan Marić and “The role of inherently safer design in process safety” by Paul R. Amyotte, FCIC, and Faisal I. Khan, FCIC (an open access article).
There are several more reasons to check out the April issue as it also features a special section curated by guest editors Margarita M. González‐Brambila and Luis Ricardez‐Sandoval. This special section consists of a selection of papers presented at the Third International Energy Conference (IEC) held in Morelia, México in September 2019, organized by the Mexican Academy of Energy (AMEXEN). The papers for this section were selected by the organizing committee as those with the most novel contributions. In the Editorial introducing this special section, Drs. González‐Brambila and Ricardez‐Sandoval note that since its first occurrence in 2015, the IEC has become “an international scientific forum to exchange ideas on recent developments in the broad field of energy and to outline the recent advances in applied sciences, engineering, policies for renewable resources, clean energy, environmental protection, and global sustainability.” Access the Editorial for more information about the conference as well as descriptions of each of the selected contributions to this special section, listed below:
- Two‐phase flow‐patterns identification in oil/gas pipelines based on fractal analysis
- A power optimization model for the long‐term planning scenarios: Case study of Mexico’s power system decarbonization
- A practical model for the supply chain growth optimization for automotive fuels in Mexico
- Effect of zero‐valent iron nanoparticles on the remediation of a clayish soil contaminated with γ‐hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) in a bioelectrochemical slurry reactor
- Atrazine biodegradation in soil by Aspergillus niger
- Optimal conditions determination for hydrodeoxygenation of free fatty acids to obtain green diesel
- On the engineering of a laboratory LED‐based photocatalytic reactor for radiative and kinetic studies
