U.S.- France Joint Workshop on Adsorption Processes for Gas Separation, Orsay, France, September 1991

该奖项将支持美国和法国联合举办的 主题为“气体分离的吸附过程”。的 研讨会的组织者是：道格拉斯莱万博士，系 弗吉尼亚大学化学工程系教授和F. Meunier，Mecanique et les信息公司 法国奥赛工程学院。 吸附过程在若干应用中是重要的 用于气体分离。变压吸附（PSA）具有许多优点， 小型和大型应用，包括空气分离， 二氧化碳/甲烷分离，氢气生产， 烃分离和气体干燥。 PSA预计 在反污染项目中发挥越来越大的作用，例如 从工业废水中回收污染物。 我国对PSA的研究和PSA的发展非常活跃， 美国和法国都是。法国人的实验室 国家科学研究中心积极参与 在吸附气体分离和法国工业领域 存在于科学和工程的整个链条中 功能（吸附剂制备、工艺设计和工艺 操作）。联合研讨会将汇集专家 为期四天的气体分离强化研讨会， 吸附，特别关注最新趋势， PSA研究和流程。讨论的主题是：1） 吸附剂设计的材料方面2）用于吸附的方法 预测吸附剂中混合物的传质速率， 3)建模和数值模拟在 新工艺的概念，以及4）可靠性 预测模型 本次研讨会的成果将使 对未来吸附方向的宝贵贡献 过程研究

This award will support a joint US-France seminar on the topic of "Adsorption Processes for Gas Separation". The organizers of the seminar are: Dr. Douglas Levan, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Virginia, and Dr. F. Meunier, Laboratoire d'Informatique pour la Mecanique et les Sciences de l'Ingenieur, Orsay, France. Adsorption processes are important in several applications for gas separation. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) has many small and large scale applications, including air separation, carbon-dioxide/methane separation, hydrogen production, hydrocarbon separation and gas drying. PSA is also expected to play an increasing role in anti-pollution projects, such as the recovery of pollutants from industrial effluents. Research on PSA and the development of PSA is very active in both the US and France. The laboratories of the French National Center for Scientific Research are strongly involved in the field of adsorptive gas separation and French industry is present in the whole chain of scientific and engineering functions (adsorbent preparation, process design and process operation). The joint workshop will bring together experts for an intensive four day workshop on gas separation by adsorption with specific focus on the most recent trends in PSA research and processes. Topics to be discussed are: 1) the materials aspect of adsorbent design 2) methods for the prediction of mass transfer rates of mixtures in adsorbents, 3) the exact role of modeling and numerical simulation in the conception of new processes, and 4) the reliability of predictive models. The results of this workshop should make a valuable contribution to future directions in adsorption process research.
