9457013 El-Halwagi This is an NSF Young Investigator Award (NYI) for research which focuses on waste reduction though chemical process synthesis. This approach provides a systematic framework to efficiently tackle pollution- prevention problems. In order to address the problem of waste recovery through recycle/reuse units, the PI has introduced several new problems and developed tool for designing recycle/reuse systems. These concepts include the synthesis of mass-exchange networks, "MENS", membrane-hybrid systems and heat-induced separation networks "HISENS". A wide spectrum of separation technologies for waste management (e.g. adsorption, absorption, solvent extraction, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, pervaporation, condensation, crystallization and drying) can be tackled through these design tools. Economic and environmental benefits can also accrue as a result of using these design tools. The PI's teaching objective is to prepare a new generation of practicing engineers who are familiar with waste-reduction design tools and concepts. The PI has been working on incorporation systematic tools for the optimal design of environmentally-acceptable plants into the curriculum. In addition to teaching these concepts in the classroom, the PI has started to write a textbook on "Systematic Design Tools for Pollution Prevention". The book contains various educational tools and industrial applications on the design and assessment of environmentally-acceptable chemical plants. ***

小行星9457013 这是一个NSF青年研究者奖（NYI）的研究，重点是通过化学过程合成减少废物。 这种方法提供了一个系统的框架，以有效地解决污染预防问题。 为了解决通过回收/再利用装置回收废物的问题，PI提出了几个新问题，并开发了设计回收/再利用系统的工具。 这些概念包括质量交换网络的合成，“MENS”，膜混合系统和热诱导分离网络“HISENS”。 用于废物管理的广泛分离技术（例如吸附、吸收、溶剂萃取、离子交换、反渗透、渗透蒸发、冷凝、结晶和干燥）可以通过这些设计工具来解决。 使用这些设计工具还可以带来经济和环境效益。 PI的教学目标是培养新一代熟悉减少浪费设计工具和概念的实践工程师。 PI一直致力于将环境可接受工厂的最佳设计系统工具纳入课程。 除了在课堂上教授这些概念外，PI还开始编写一本关于“防止污染的系统设计工具”的教科书。 这本书包含各种教育工具和工业应用的设计和评估的环境可接受的化工厂。 ***
