ABOUT ME
Javier Herguido is Professor of Chemical Engineering (Catedrático de Universidad) at the School of Engineering and Architecture (EINA) of the University of Zaragoza (Unizar), since 2007. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in industrial chemistry (1987) and a PhD in Science – Chemical Engineering program (1991). In 1993 holder of the chair ‘Chaire Hélioparc’ at the Technology Center ‘Hélioparc Pau-Pyrénées’ (France). Guest professor at several research centers and universities: ‘Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie Moléculaire’ CNRS-France, PUCP University-Peru, National University of Cuenca-Ecuador.
Currently, he is the Head (Director) of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technologies – Unizar, and the Secretary of the Spanish Catalysis Society (SECAT).
In his research activity, he is a member of the Catalysis and Reactor Engineering Group (CREG) and the Aragon Institute of Engineering Research (I3A). His current research activity is focused in the area of Chemical Reactor Engineering including:
a) Fluidized bed reactors with oxidizing and reducing zones for selective oxidation processes and for catalytic dehydrogenations.
b) Hydrogen technologies: his current research efforts are devoted to fields related with hydrogen production and/or purification from several sources, hydrogen utilization in Power to Gas processes such as CO2 methanation, and Power to Liquid processes such as methanol production.
c) Processes intensification, including the use of membrane reactors.
He has participated in 43 research projects, largely as main researcher. His scientific production includes: 120 papers (counting 2 reviews per invitation) in JCR-indexed journals such as AIChEJ, Appl. Catal., Cat. Today, CEJ., CES, IECR, Int. J. Hydrogen Energy, J. Catal., J. Power Sources, Powder Tech., Studies Surf. Sci. Catal., among others; over 370 presentations at scientific meetings; 2 patents; and the book “Chemical Reaction Engineering” (1999, Ed. Síntesis, Madrid). He has supervised 14 PhD thesis. H Index: 35 (G-Scholar, 3762 citations), 30 (Scopus, 2760 citations) -October 2023-

abstract = {Fluidized bed reactors (FBRs) are crucial in the chemical industry, serving essential roles in gasoline production, manufacturing materials, and waste treatment. However, traditional up-flow FBRs have limitations in applications where rapid kinetics, catalyst deactivation, sluggish mass/heat transfer processes, particle erosion or agglomeration (clustering) occur. This review investigates multifunctional FBRs that can function in multiple ways and intensify processes. These reactors can reduce reaction steps and costs, enhance heat and mass transfer, make processes more compact, couple different phenomena, improve energy efficiency, operate in extreme fluidized regimes, have augmented throughput, or solve problems inherited by traditional reactor configurations. They address constraints associated with conventional counterparts and contribute to favorable energy, fuels, and environmental footprints. These reactors can be classified as two-zone, vortex, and internal circulating FBRs, with each concept summarized, including their advantages, disadvantages, process applicability, intensification, visualization, and simulation work. This discussion also includes shared considerations for these reactor types, along with perspectives on future advancements and opportunities for enhancing their performance.},
