Separation Science and Technology as a Platform for SusChEM: Recovery of Critical Materials and Resources from Solutions and Wastes

CBET-1446444美国化学工程师学会PI：Darlene Schuster PI提议在即将于旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的第248届美国化学学会（ACS）全国会议（8月10日至14日）期间举行为期1.5天的研讨会。本次会议将为分离科学与技术（SST）提供一个讨论论坛。本次研讨会是一个后续行动，在2012年秋季ACS会议举行的NSF共同资助的研讨会，题为？确保关键材料和替代品的可持续性？目前拟议的专题讨论会的总体目标是：1.重点关注与可持续地回收和再循环液态和固态废物中的关键材料和（如金属）及资源（如磷）有关的SST方面的跨领域研究和教育需求，包括受损的水（如海水、微咸水、盐水和家庭/工业废水）、尾矿和电子废物。将这些研究和教育需求传达给更广泛的科学家，工程师，政策制定者，商业领袖和企业家的SST社区。研讨会将有助于推进分离科学与工程（SSE）及其在关键材料和资源的可持续供应中的应用，以建立可持续的产品，工艺，技术，通过激励新一代的科学家，工程师和学生进入这一领域，为未来的农场和工业提供支持。AIChE将开发和维护一个网站，该网站将以中立的品牌和致力于关键材料的主题。它将作为本次专题讨论会和今后可能举行的专题讨论会的有关材料的存放处。该网站可以链接到其他网站的相关信息。AIChE将永久保存讲习班材料，以供散发。该网站不仅将向研究界提供材料，还将激励和吸引下一代科学家、工程师和政策制定者。

CBET- 1446444American Institute of Chemical EngineersPI: Darlene SchusterThe PI proposes a 1.5-day symposium during the upcoming 248th American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting (August 10-14) in San Francisco. The symposium will provide a discussion forum for Separation Science and Technology (SST). This symposium is a follow-up to an NSF co-funded symposium held at the 2012 Fall ACS Meeting entitled ?Ensuring the Sustainability of Critical Materials and Alternatives?.The overall objectives of the currently proposed symposium are to:1. Bring into focus crosscutting research and education needs in SST associated with the sustainable recovery and recycling of critical materials and (e.g. metals) and resources (e.g. phosphorous) from liquid and solid wastes including impaired water (e.g. seawater, brackish water, brines and domestic/industrial wastewater), mine tailings and electronic wastes.2. Communicate these research and education needs to the broader SST community of scientists, engineers, policy makers, business leaders and entrepreneurs.The symposium will contribute to the advancement of separation science and engineering (SSE) and its application to the sustainable supply of the critical materials and resources to build the sustainable products, processes, technologies, farms and industries of the future by inspiring a new generation of scientists, engineers and students to enter this field.AIChE will develop and maintain a website that will be neutrally branded and dedicated to the subject of critical materials. It will serve as a repository for relevant materials from this symposium and potential future symposia. The website can link to other sites with pertinent information. The AIChE will permanently have the workshop materials maintained for dissemination. This website will not only make materials available to the research community but also serve to inspire and engage the next generation scientists, engineers and policymakers.
