Abstract

Phase equilibrium and phase transport phenomena play a pivotal role in the field of chemistry, influencing various processes from chemical reactions to separations and material synthesis. This review article provides an in-depth exploration of these fundamental concepts, focusing on their significance, underlying principles, and applications across different subfields of chemistry. We delve into the key thermodynamic and kinetic principles governing phase equilibrium and transport, offering insights into how these principles drive various chemical processes. The review covers a wide range of topics, including vapor-liquid equilibrium, liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption, and diffusion, shedding light on their critical roles in industry and research. Moreover, we discuss recent advancements and emerging trends in phase equilibrium and transport, offering a comprehensive perspective for researchers and practitioners in the field.
