Special issue in honour of Professor Jamal Chaouki

Abstract

It is with great pleasure that we present this special issue of The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering in honour of Dr. Jamal Chaouki, a renowned engineer, inspirational professor, talented scientist, great innovator, and successful entrepreneur, as demonstrated in his biography on the next page, prepared by Prof. Rahmat Sotudeh-Gharebagh. 2021 is a special year for Jamal, who will be celebrating his 65 th birthday. As his former PhD student and postdoctoral fellow, we organized this special issue to highlight his significant academic achievements, in consultation and collaboration with his friends, former students, postdoctoral fellows, and research associates.The idea for a special issue was proposed to Professor João B. P. Soares, the Editor-in-Chief of the journal, who generously accepted it in view of the impressive record of Dr. Chaouki in Canada and worldwide. To make this issue special, we have invited his friends, academic children and grandchildren, and a few of his associates to contribute manuscripts. We are grateful to João for allowing us to guest edit this special issue of the flagship journal of The Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (CSChE). We are pleased to report that 30 papers were initially submitted to the journal and after peer review, following the standard journal procedures, 28 papers were accepted. Due to the page limitation of each issue, we have decided to publish a full special issue with 16 papers as Part 1 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and a special section in the coming issue (vol. 99, issue 12) with 12 papers as Part II. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] The special issue and special section cover experiments, modelling and simulation of multiphase reactors, pyrolysis and gasification, mineral processing, and applied catalysis.We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors, reviewers, Dr. João B. P. Soares, and Kyra Van Den Bos, who, as the Managing Editor for this special issue, led the support team, which includes Tiffany Noel, Production Editor, and Lisa Olsen, Editorial Coordinator, in the publishing process. Above all, on behalf of all the contributors, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Dr. Chaouki for his decades of dedication to teaching, mentoring, research, and community services in Canada, Morocco, and worldwide, and wish him and his well-respected family all the best in the future.
