The availability of energy-efficient and sustainable processes for chemical separations plays a crucial role in the large-scale production of fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceutical products. To address the complex scientific and technological challenges of chemical separations, it is essential to bring together diverse research communities and leaders in the field to discuss emerging concepts and approaches. The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Chemical Separations, scheduled for January 21-26, 2024, in Galveston, TX, will be an excellent opportunity for cross-disciplinary scientific discussions related to emerging concepts and methods in chemical separations. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, these discussions can lead to the development of highly efficient and selective separation technologies. Such advancements have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower the carbon footprint associated with chemicals and fuels manufacturing, and decrease the costs of desirable products. The collective efforts of researchers and industry professionals in this area can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. The support provided by the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will offset the attendance costs for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists, promoting the participation of a diverse group of attendees. The 2024 Chemical Separations GRC directly addresses the recommendations of the National Academies report, "A Research Agenda for Transforming Separation Science," emphasizing substantive interactions between the chemistry and chemical engineering separations research communities and integrating relevant concepts in research and education. The GRC format fulfills this objective by encouraging the sharing of cutting-edge, unpublished data, hosting highly-attended poster sessions, and fostering a collegial, interactive environment. Investigators from academia, national laboratories, and industry will be represented at this meeting. This GRC stands out among existing separations-focused conferences as it expands chemical separations discussions beyond analytical techniques, encompassing separation materials design, process scale-up, and operational considerations. This year also focuses on the challenges and opportunities of integrating chemical reactions and separations for energy economy across small- and large-scale processes. By facilitating knowledge exchange, the GRC on Chemical Separations contributes to the advancement and transformation of separation science.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.

高能效和可持续的化学分离工艺在燃料、化学品和医药产品的大规模生产中起着至关重要的作用。为了应对化学分离带来的复杂的科学和技术挑战，必须将该领域的不同研究界和领导人聚集在一起，讨论新出现的概念和办法。定于2024年1月21日至26日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行的戈登化学分离研究会议(GRC)将是一个极好的机会，可以讨论与化学分离中新出现的概念和方法有关的跨学科科学讨论。通过促进协作和知识交流，这些讨论可以导致开发高效和选择性的分离技术。这些进步有可能显著减少温室气体排放，降低与化学品和燃料制造相关的碳足迹，并降低理想产品的成本。研究人员和行业专业人员在这一领域的集体努力可以为更可持续和更环保的未来做出贡献。化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部提供的支持将抵消研究生、博士后研究人员和职业生涯早期科学家的参加费用，促进不同群体的与会者参与。2024年化学分离GRC直接针对美国国家科学院报告《转变分离科学的研究议程》的建议，强调化学和化学工程分离研究界之间的实质性互动，并将相关概念整合到研究和教育中。GRC格式通过鼓励共享尖端的、未发布的数据、主办高参与率的海报会议以及促进大学互动环境来实现这一目标。来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的研究人员将出席这次会议。这次GRC在现有的以分离为重点的会议中脱颖而出，因为它将化学分离的讨论扩展到分析技术之外，包括分离材料设计、工艺放大和操作考虑。今年还重点讨论了在小型和大型流程中整合化学反应和分离以实现能源节约的挑战和机遇。通过促进知识交流，化学分离GRC为分离科学的进步和变革做出了贡献。这一奖项反映了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。
