Process intensification aims for increasing efficiency and sustainability of (bio-)chemical production processes. The second book of our two-book series focusses entirely on process intensifi cation by centrifugally enhanced (reactive) separations. The book provides an overview of the main applications of rotating packed beds (RPBs) in liquid-liquid, gas-liquid and vapor-liquid contacting, within academic research and industrial applications. The book addresses current design rules and modeling frameworks, including the tailored design of functional packings by means of additive manufacturing.

• Rotating packed beds are widely applicable and fl exible mass transfer machines for process intensifi cation.
• Applications, design rules and advanced modeling for rotating packed beds are presented in an interconnected way.
