Abstract
Process intensification draws a lot of attention because it is working towards energy savings, waste emission reduction, time reduction, and safety improvement. Novel microfibrous structured packings provide a unique combination of large void volume, entirely open structure, large surface-to-volume ratio, high permeability, high heat/mass transfer, and unique form factors, which are central to the notion of increasing the steady-state volumetric reaction rate. The latest progress in the use of microfibrous structured packings in H2 fuel generation and cleanup, air filtration, selective oxidation, electrochemical energy storage, and F-T synthesis has been reviewed. The prospects for the microfibrous structured packings towards process intensification were also presented.
