  • Abstract:
  • New paradigms in chemical engineering are emerging in response to the global challenges of sustainability, resource efficiency, and technological advancement. These paradigms emphasize a shift from traditional, linear processes to more dynamic, flexible systems that integrate digital technologies, advanced materials, and green chemistry principles. Concurrently, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability, with a focus on designing closed-loop systems, minimizing waste, and utilizing renewable resources to reduce environmental impacts. The integration of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and advanced catalytic processes is also facilitating the development of high-performance materials and energy-efficient technologies. These innovations are driving a paradigm shift toward a circular economy, where waste is minimized, resources are continually reused, and energy consumption is optimized. As chemical engineering adapts to these new paradigms, the field is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, focusing not only on technical excellence but also on addressing social and environmental concerns, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient industrial systems.
