Abstract

Developing and scaling up more selective, flexible and sustainable extraction processes is an ambitious challenge, at the interface of many scientific and technical disciplines. But it is also a challenge that new experimental and numerical tools are helping to meet efficiently, by federating advances in usually disconnected fields of research (chemistry, interface science, physics, fluid mechanics, etc.), and accelerating their implementation in the industry. This Research Topic of articles reviews recent advances in these research fields, to provide a factual and forward-looking picture of the development of tomorrow’s sustainable industrial extraction processes.
