Properties and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design (PPEPPD) International Conference, May 12-16, 2019, Vancouver, Canada 2019

这笔赠款将为美国研究人员提供差旅支持，以参加2019年5月12日至16日在加拿大温哥华举行的产品和工艺设计的性质和阶段平衡(PPEPPD)国际会议。PPEPPD的目的是分享最先进的技术，以进一步推动产品和工艺设计，推动全球化工及相关行业的经济增长，并使我们能够为实现更有效的分离和实现更低的温室气体排放目标而建立新的工艺模型。2019年PPEPPD将汇集最重要的国际研究人员，将分子热力学应用于与工业相关的产品和工艺设计。2019年PPEPPD国际会议将提供一个机会，就热物理性质和相平衡测量和估计的尖端技术交流意见，并确定替代能源和储存、天然气和石油上下游加工、制药和化妆品、海洋和盐水系统和工艺、纳米技术和可持续发展等不断增长的领域面临的挑战。美国的参与对于为一般知识基础做出贡献、建立对全球活动的认识以及促进国际合作至关重要。由该基金资助的美国研究人员将有机会与来自世界各地的学术和工业研究人员互动，就分子热力学研究和教育的最新进展交换意见。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。

This grant will provide travel support for US-based researchers to attend the Properties and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design (PPEPPD) International Conference, that will be held from May 12-16, 2019, in Vancouver, Canada. The purpose of PPEPPD is the sharing of state-of-the-art techniques to further product and process design that will fuel world-wide economic growth in the chemical and related industries, and allow us to model new processes for achieving more efficient separations and meeting lower greenhouse gas emission goals. PPEPPD 2019 will bring together the most important international researchers in the application of molecular thermodynamics to industrially relevant product and process design. The PPEPPD 2019 International Conference will provide an opportunity for exchange of ideas on the cutting edge of techniques for thermophysical properties and phase equilibrium measurement and estimation, and identify the challenges in the growing areas of alternative energy resources and storage, gas and oil upstream and downstream processing, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, marine and saline systems and processes, nanotechnology, and sustainability. American participation is essential for making contributions to the general knowledge base, for building awareness of global activities, and for fostering international collaborations. The US-based researchers supported by this grant will have the opportunity to interact with academic and industrial researchers from around the world and exchange ideas on the latest advances on molecular thermodynamics research and education.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.
