中文摘要：

回顾了化学反应工程学科和相关工业重要贡献的发展历史,提出以＂物质的传递与转化＂、＂能量的传递与转化＂和＂信息的传递与转化＂所组成的＂三传三转＂作为化学工程学科范式的新解读模式;强调了多尺度研究对于理解反应工程复杂问题的重要意义,计算技术的发展大大促进了反应工程理论的进步;从学科交叉和化工前沿角度探讨了反应工程新的发展方向,尤其展望了大型化煤化工、大规模天然气（页岩气）利用等将为中国的反应工程发展带来更为优越的国际领先契机,也是未来反应工程的任务和挑战。

英文摘要：

The historical development of chemical reaction engineering and its related milestone contribution in industry is reviewed.The new paradigm of ＂transfer and transformation of materials,energy and information＂ is proposed as the extension of the chemical engineering discipline.Multi-scale methodology is acknowledged as the key to exploring the complex problems in reaction engineering.Sophisticated computational techniques promote the rapid development of reaction engineering theory.The frontier areas in reaction engineering are pointed out from the viewpoint of interdisciplinary research and development.The authors anticipate that the industrial development of coal chemical and natural gas（shale gas）conversion would bring new opportunities for Chinese chemical engineers to become the international leaders in relevant areas,which is also the challenge for chemical reaction engineering in the future.
