Engineering Foundation Conference on "Emerging Separation Technologies for Metals and Fuels"

该奖项为学术界、工业界和国家实验室的代表举行会议提供支持，以审查采矿、矿物和燃料工业的新兴分离过程。该计划涵盖了从膜和溶剂萃取到基于分子识别或生物技术的分离方法的广泛方法。这次会议将有助于提高美国公司在全球的竞争力，并且与目前关注工业和民用基础设施的更新是及时的。通过解决环境过程问题，预期会产生广泛的影响，对几个工业部门和一般公众有潜在的好处。

This award provides support for a conference with representatives from academia, industry and national laboratories to examine emerging separations processes for the mining, minerals and fuels industries. The program encompasses a wide spectrum of approaches from membranes and solvent extraction to separation methods based on molecular recognition or biotechnology. The meeting will help to make American firms more globally competitive and is timely with the present focus on renewing the industrial and civil infrastructure. Broad impact is expected with potential benefit to several industrial sectors and the general public through addressing environmental processin problems.
