Sustainable Resources, Energy, and Materials - A Challenge to Chemical Engineers, a Workshop to be held in Beijing, China, Spring 2004

来自新罕布夏州的马图尔·维兰德拉·K.U将于2003年春在北京举办“可持续资源、能源和材料研讨会--对化学工程师的挑战”，中国。美国和中国的化学工程师将就可持续资源、能源和材料等主要主题举行研讨会。传质和分离现象是研讨会方法的主要焦点。这次研讨会将于2004年春季在北京举行，主要目的是交流科学信息，并在美国和中国的大学教职员工之间就主要是在源头污染防治领域取得的最新进展进行对话。一个目标也是灌输这两个国家的教职员工之间的密切合作，以保持持续的互动和关系，即使在研讨会结束后，也是为了找到全球污染困境的解决方案。这次联合研讨会将提供一个平台，以实现信息交流和教师合作的这些目标，这些目标可能集中在这一世界性污染的关键问题上。已经确定了以下基本研究概念：1)化学分离和质量传输基础知识，以提供最新和详细的了解或新的方法/工具来理解/描述化学分离和质量传输；2)化学分离过程的强化和创新，以突出微尺度分离过程和那些在外部领域操作的过程的进展，如电场、超临界二氧化碳技术等。3)绿色污染预防过程，以解决那些可能有效地应对基于能源的污染、基于工业的污染和在材料选择中防止污染的努力。上述概念涵盖了化学工程的一个非常广泛的领域。本次研讨会的主题将限于以下几个方面。讨论的主题应尽可能但不限于传质、界面、热力学和分离现象--与一般的拱形主题相关。会议过程的报告将提交给NSF，并将向公众提供更详细的硬拷贝。

Mathur, Virendra K.U of New Hampshire"Workshop on Sustainable Resources, Energy, and Materials - A Challenge to Chemical Engineers" to be held in Beijing, China in the Spring of 2003." A workshop between USA and Chinese chemical engineers will be held on the overarching topics of sustainable resources, energy, and materials. The phenomena of mass transfer and separations are the main focus of the workshop approaches. The main objective of this workshop to be held in Beijing, China, in the of Spring 2004, is to have an exchange of scientific information and a dialogue between the American and Chinese university faculty members on recent advances mainly in the area of pollution prevention at the source. One objective is also to inculcate a close collaboration between the faculty members of these two countries for a sustained interaction and relationship, even after the workshop is over, towards finding a solution to the global pollution dilemma. This joint workshop will provide a platform to achieve these objectives of information exchange and faculty collaboration that may have a focus on this critical problem of worldwide pollution. The following basic research concepts have been identified:1) Chemical separation and mass transport fundamentals to provide updated and detailed understanding or novel ways/tools to understand/describe chemical separation and mass transport; 2) Chemical separation process intensification and innovation to highlight the advances in micro scale separation process and those process operated in external field e.g., electrical field, supercritical CO2 technology, etc. 3) Green process for pollution prevention to address those efforts that may be effective to cope with energy based pollution, industry based pollution and to pollution prevention in material selection. The above concepts cover a very wide area of chemical engineering. The topics for this workshop will be confined to the following areas. The subject of discussions as far as possible, but not limited to, should be in the areas of mass transport, interfacial, thermodynamics, and separations phenomena--related to the general over arching themes.A report of the proceedings will be submitted to NSF and a more detailed hard copy will be available to the public.
