Don’t wait to explore the May issue of Can. J. Chem. Eng. as it features two new additions to our Established Leaders Special Series: “Process design of a continuous biotransformation with in situ product removal by cloud point extraction” by Oliver Fellechner and Irina Smirnova—our Editor’s Choice article this month—and “Regular solution theory applied to asphaltene related phase behaviour” by Harvey Yarranton, MCIC, and Francisco Ramos Pallares. This issue also features a new addition to our Experimental Methods in Chemical Engineering Special Series: “Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Barrier properties” by Martina Roso, Claire Cerclé, Abdellah Ajji, MCIC, and Gregory Patience, MCIC.

This issue also includes articles from a variety of our content categories.
