The aim of this RAM Facility, to be established by our team of researchers in Chemistry, Engineering and Chemical Engineering, and in partnership with Resodyn Acoustic Mixers, the pioneering developer and only manufacturer of this technology, is to create in the UK an internationally visible hotbed of innovation in sustainable processes and materials. It will be a globally unique, self-sustained resource to help researchers and industries kick-start green chemical manufacturing in the UK through innovative technologies, sustainable product portfolios and potentially creation of spin-outs. The potential to advance both research and sustainable manufacturing is evident by almost 50 Support Letters that provide a cross-section of potential users and problems that can be addressed at the RAM Facility. The letters come from a wide community, including senior and early career researchers from the UK and abroad, interdisciplinary centres, as well as UK and international SMEs and large industries. Letters also demonstrate alignment and complementarity with many UK research centres and national facilities.The objectives of the RAM Facility are to enable and promote sustainability-oriented innovation in fundamental science and chemical manufacturing. This is summarised in a set of Science and Technology Challenges that will advance mechanochemistry for clean manufacturing, recycling and waste valorisation, discovery and development of materials for green, sustainable technologies (nanomaterials, battery materials, supercapacitors), and many other areas. This will advance diverse science disciplines (chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, geosciences, metallurgy and materials, and applied mathematics) and industry sectors, including (but not limited to) additive manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, agricultural, chemical, defence, FMCG, food, green energy, and pharmaceutical sectors. Through small- and large pilot-scale instruments, the facility will uniquely support fundamental science of mechanochemistry and enable new concepts for sustainable manufacturing to be explored and immediately advanced to high TRLs. Only 10 pilot-scale systems have been installed in the world, all of them within industry sites, making our vision to place such a system into a truly "open" RAM Facility, centrally located, easily accessible and supported by dedicated staff, with access based on competitive and transparent research excellence, EDI and RRI criteria, truly transformative and of high impact for new sustainable technologies.

该RAM设施的目的是由我们的化学，工程和化学工程研究人员团队建立，并与Resodyn Acoustic Mixeder合作，这是该技术的开发人员，唯一的制造商，是在英国创建的，这是在英国创建的，这是一个在可持续过程和材料中创新的国际可见热点。它将是一种全球独特的，自我维持的资源，可以通过创新技术，可持续产品组合以及可能创建纺纱店来帮助研究人员和行业在英国启动绿色化学制造。近50封支持信提供了潜在的潜在用户和可能在RAM设施解决的问题的横截面，可以证明有可能提高研究和可持续制造的潜力。这些信件来自一个广阔的社区，包括来自英国和国外的高级和早期职业研究人员，跨学科中心，英国和国际中小型企业以及大型行业。信件还表明了与许多英国研究中心和国家设施的一致性和互补性。RAM设施的目标是在基本科学和化学制造业中启用和促进面向可持续性的创新。这是一系列科学技术挑战总结的，这些挑战将推进清洁，回收和浪费的机械化学，发现和开发绿色，可持续技术的材料（纳米材料，电池材料，超级电容器）以及许多其他领域。 This will advance diverse science disciplines (chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, geosciences, metallurgy and materials, and applied mathematics) and industry sectors, including (but not limited to) additive manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, agricultural, chemical, defence, FMCG, food, green energy, and pharmaceutical sectors.通过小型和大型试点仪器，该设施将独特地支持机械化学的基本科学，并使可持续制造的新概念探索并立即发展为高TRL。世界上只安装了10个试点规模的系统，所有这些系统都在行业站点内，使我们的愿景将这种系统置于真正的“开放” RAM设施中，中央位置位于中央，易于访问和由敬业的员工提供支持，并基于竞争性和透明的研究卓越的访问，EDI和RRI标准，EDI和RRI标准，对新的可持续性技术的影响很高，对新的可持续性影响。
