Process Safety and Environmental Protection
Publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering: Part BPSEP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.Papers that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects, demonstrating how research results can be used in process engineering design and practice, are particularly encouraged. Experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research will also be considered. The journal is especially interested in contributions that extend the boundaries of traditional engineering as well as in multidisciplinary papers.Papers related to environmental protection must take an integrated pollution control approach, demonstrating clearly that any proposed treatment method does not simply transfer pollution from one environmental medium to another, for example, from air to water or from water to solid waste. All such papers must discuss how any treatment effluents, spent adsorbents, etc., can be treated or disposed of safely, avoiding transfer of pollution to another environmental medium.For environmental protection, papers that are outside the scope are those that lack engineering aspects, including those that:use experimental techniques primarily to prepare and/or characterise various materials without considerations of process engineering design and practice;present primarily laboratory experiments of the effects of different parameters on behaviour of materials and pollutants (e.g. pH, temperature, mass of adsorbent, etc.) without further insights into the implications for engineering design and practice;focus primarily on adsorption models and curve fitting (e.g. Freundlich, Langmuir etc.); andcontain only chemical, physical and/or thermodynamic analyses.Core topic areas:Risk Assessment and Reliability EngineeringRisk assessment, risk management, consequence analysis, and uncertainty quantificationSupply chain risk managementCyber and physical security vulnerability assessmentRisk assessment of hydrogen-based technologiesHuman reliability analysis (HRA) and human-machine interface (HMI)Reliability predictions of integrated systems and high-temperature power electronicsIntegrity management and reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM)Technical Safety and Loss PreventionFire and gas detectionFirewater systemsFunctional safety and safety integrity levels (SIL)Layer of protection analysis (LOPA)Bowtie analysisEmergency responseHAZOP and other hazard/risk identification techniquesModellingM... liquid, gaseous, and two-phase releases and dispersionConsequenc... modelling, including: fire, explosion, toxic, eco-toxic effects and projectile impactsMethods, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD)Accident investigation and modellingChemical Toxicity and Exposure AssessmentToxic releases and exposure assessmentProcess plant health issues.Process Pipelines, Storage and SecurityProcess pipelines security and terrorismPipeline leak detection and measurement and corrosion assessmentCarbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 transportFire and ExplosionFire, combustion, and explosion phenomenaDust explosionsFire and blast protection and survivabilityHuman Factors in Design and ManagementHSE performance measurement including leading and lagging indicatorsHuman and organizational factors in safety casesHuman performance optimization by designSIMOPS (simultaneous operations)Situation... awarenessCommunicati... and risk control systemsResilience engineeringTechnical assurance and workforce trainingInherent Safety and Inherently Safer DesignHazard identificationDesign and development of new processes and equipmentMethodologi... for ranking inherent safetyRetrofitting inherently safer solutions and upgrading existing plant for improved safetyEnergy SafetyNuclear reactor protective and monitoring systemsSmall modular reactor safetyEnergy storage (e.g., metal hydride) safetyElectrochemica... system (e.g., fuel cells, batteries) safetySafety throughout the life cycle of the energy system Safety of novel energy systems (e.g., ammonia) Reaction HazardsChemical thermal stability and thermal reaction hazardsInfluence of impurities on reaction hazardsDevelopment of reactivity hazard index ranking toolsRunaway reactions, including detection and mitigationCompatibil... of chemicals involved in a chemical processIndustrial Hazards and Safety CasesMajor accident hazards ALARP and cost-benefit analysisIndustrial safety casesIncident investigations and case historiesCase histories of incidents and lessons learned integration into design and operationsTechnical analysis of incidentsComputation... modelling to simulate actual incidentsUse of incidents in training and improvement of safety performanceIncident investigation methodologiesInciden... databases and their applicationsAir pollution prevention and treatmentMethods and technologies for prevention and treatment of air pollutionAir dispersion modelling Prediction and mitigation of air pollution incidentsHealth impacts from air pollutionResource and waste managementRecovery and recycling of materials and productsEnergy from waste and alternative resourcesWaste minimisationWaste treatment technologiesWaste management: systems and processes for energy and material recovery and waste treatment;

Fluid Phase Equilibria
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants, with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Naturally occurring systems that cannot be completely characterized will be considered only if they are of high practical interest and the work leads to significant new findings. In all cases, enough detail must be given to permit independent verification, and authors are also expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques. All data reports and analyses will be examined by NIST for consistency with the requirements posted at http://trc.nist.gov/... and computational studies can include equations of state; correlations or predictive models; molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations; statistical thermodynamics; quantum chemistry; and other applied mathematical and computational approaches. Research reporting new theories and models are expected to show adequate comparisons of predictive ability and accuracy with both applicable data and contemporary existing models. Contributions on artificial neural networks, machine learning, and similar approaches will only be considered when full details of the methodology are provided and comparisons of accuracy are made with existing physically-based models, or if no thermodynamic models are available. All reported computational studies must be fully reproducible by others. As such all algorithms and methods should be described in sufficient detail, all parameters for models, force fields, and electronic structure methods should be given explicitly in the manuscript or supporting information.The journal publishes full research papers and also short communications to describe emerging ideas for which rapid publication is essential. Critical reviews are encouraged and should be prepared in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. The journal will not publish articles that have appeared partially, or completely, in other journals, that plagiarize other works, or that are incompletely referenced; verification will be made using the software at http://www.ithentica... The text must be in English and should be clear, in a well-structured style, and be free of grammatical and spelling errors.- ISSN: 0378-3812
