Separation and purification processes are essential to production of biochemicals, biopharmaceuticals, chemicals, drugs, food products, gaseous/liquid fuels, healthcare products, metals, potable water, semi-conductor chips among others. Membrane-based separation/purification processes are becoming increasingly important in manufacturing such products. A membrane allows selective transport of one species from one phase on one side of the membrane to another phase on the other side of the membrane; often a membrane acting as a barrier selectively blocks one or more species from going through (e.g., membrane-based protective clothing against toxic gases). The species may be molecules in gaseous/liquid phase, ions in solution, macromolecules, nanoparticles, micron-size particles. Membrane devices and processes are favored due to lower energy consumption (e.g., desalination), easy scale-up (e.g., natural gas purification), smaller footprint (e.g., membrane contactors) and are the only viable option in kidney dialysis. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) site of the Membrane Science, Engineering and Technology Center (MAST Center) is focused on solving specific separation problems by developing advanced membranes and characterizing such membranes and processes. NJIT site provides advanced education, training and research opportunities to students and young researchers on research topics specified by MAST Sponsors: industrial corporations, national laboratories and federal agencies.The MAST Center is a multi-university-based industry-university cooperative research center with three university sites. Guided by members of the industrial advisory board (IAB), MAST Center 1) conducts fundamental research in membranes via innovative materials and processes facilitating the use of membrane technology for current/emerging industrial applications; (2) sustains technological leadership in membrane materials and membrane-based separation processes and facilitates commercialization of innovative technologies; and (3) provides undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows with a relevant educational and research experience. The Center-spanning research themes aligned with IAB interests are: water treatment, bioseparations, membrane fabrication and characterization, organic solvent processing, gas separations, barrier membranes. NJIT's MAST Center faculty from four academic departments have their research focus on water treatment, barrier membranes, organic solvent-based system processing and membrane characterization. Research thrust areas of special interest to NJIT MAST faculty are: water treatment membranes for desalination, industrial effluent treatment and recovery of chemicals and metals by novel membranes, organic solvent-based system processing with solvent-resistant membranes, barrier membranes for chemical and biological protection. Research on advanced membrane materials and structures and their incorporation in novel separation devices/schemes are expected to respond to challenging separation and purification needs encountered by current and potential membrane users.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

分离和提纯过程对于生产生物化学品、生物制药、化学品、药品、食品、气态/液体燃料、保健产品、金属、饮用水、半导体芯片等至关重要。基于膜的分离/提纯工艺在制造此类产品中正变得越来越重要。膜允许一种物质从膜一侧的一相选择性地传输到膜另一侧的另一相；通常，起到屏障作用的膜选择性地阻止一种或多种物质通过(例如，防止有毒气体的膜基防护服)。物种可以是气相/液体相的分子、溶液中的离子、大分子、纳米颗粒、微米级颗粒。膜设备和工艺由于能耗较低(例如海水淡化)、易于放大(例如天然气净化)、占地面积较小(例如膜接触器)而受到青睐，是肾脏透析的唯一可行选择。新泽西理工学院(NJIT)的膜科学、工程和技术中心(Mast Center)致力于通过开发先进的膜和表征此类膜和过程来解决特定的分离问题。NJIT网站为学生和年轻研究人员提供由MAST赞助商指定的研究主题的高级教育、培训和研究机会：工业企业、国家实验室和联邦机构。Mast中心是一个多所大学为基础的产学合作研究中心，有三个大学站点。在工业咨询委员会(IAB)成员的指导下，Mast Center 1)通过创新材料和工艺开展膜基础研究，促进膜技术在当前/新兴工业应用中的应用；(2)保持膜材料和膜分离工艺方面的技术领先地位，并促进创新技术的商业化；以及(3)为本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员提供相关的教育和研究经验。与IAB兴趣相一致的跨中心研究主题有：水处理、生物分离、膜制造和表征、有机溶剂处理、气体分离、阻隔膜。NJIT的Mast Center教员来自四个学术部门，他们的研究重点是水处理、屏障膜、基于有机溶剂的系统处理和膜表征。NJIT教师特别感兴趣的研究重点领域是：用于海水淡化、工业废水处理和通过新型膜回收化学品和金属的水处理膜、具有耐溶剂膜的有机溶剂型系统处理、用于化学和生物保护的阻隔膜。先进的膜材料和结构的研究及其在新型分离设备/方案中的应用有望回应当前和潜在的膜使用者所遇到的具有挑战性的分离和纯化需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
