A Computer Aided Design Approach to the Design of Environmentally Benign Solvents

摘要CTS-9630917 Luke Achenie新型溶剂是为了满足以下一种或多种需求而开发的：(I)性能更好或成本更低的愿望；(Ii)新工艺的出现；(Iii)联邦和州环境法规的变化；以及(Iv)安全和健康方面的考虑。一般来说，开发性能改善的新溶剂是一个非常耗时和昂贵的过程，需要启发式方法和昂贵的实验研究相结合。在这些试错法中，合成不同的溶剂，测量或推断它们的物理和/或化学性质，并与该应用所需的性质进行比较。这项建议涉及启动一种系统研究方法，以寻找为印刷工业设计清洗剂的系统框架。这一框架工作同时考虑了工艺性能和经济性以及健康、安全和环境目标。通过系统程序设计的“最佳”橡皮布清洗(印刷机的清洁溶剂)可显著节省能源，并将对环境的影响降至最低。***

ABSTRACT CTS-9630917 Luke Achenie New Solvents are developed in response to one or more of the following: (i) a desire for better performance or reduced cost, (ii) the presence of a new process (iii) change in federal and state environmental regulations and (iv) safety and health considerations. Developing new solvents with improved properties is, in general, a very time consuming and expensive process involving a combination of heuristics and costly experimental studies. In these trial and error approaches, different solvents are synthesized, their physical and/or chemical properties are measured or inferred and compared with the desire properties for that application. This proposal deals with initiating a systems research approach into finding a systematic framework for designing cleaning solvents for the printing industry. This frame work simultaneously takes into consideration process performance and economics as well as health, safety and environmental targets. An "optimal" blanket wash (cleaning solvent for the printing press) designed through a systematic procedure can result in significant energy savings as well as minimal environmental impact. ***
