I/UCRC for The Emission Reduction Research Center

该奖项是为了建立一个行业/大学 减排研究中心合作研究中心 （ERRC）在新泽西理工学院（NJIT）。 ERRC研究的重点是减少污染， “批处理”通常用于 制药和特种化学品行业。 一些 该中心计划的研究项目包括：小说 两亲性星星聚合物作为溶剂用于 医药工业;新型陶瓷膜分离VOC 以及用于工艺设计和性能监控等的人工智能系统。 还将建立一个全面的溶剂数据库， 最佳溶剂选择和溶剂置换实验 有机溶剂系统潜在的机会 用水性或纯体系代替。 除了NJIT，俄亥俄州州立大学、宾夕法尼亚州立大学和麻省理工学院 也将参与I/UCRC的研究计划。 项目经理推荐新泽西学院 这项技术将在五年期的第一年获得五万美元的奖励。 继续获奖 在每12个月结束时，项目经理 和/或工程教育中心主任 司将审查中心在若干方面的进展情况， 更新标准，包括以下内容：1） 大学/工业界的互动正在发展; 2）程度， 支持基础正在发展;以及3） 合作，强大的研究计划正在发展。 如果 如果评审结果令人满意，项目经理将建议提供支持 在下一个连续的奖项。

This award is for the establishment of an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Emission Reduction Research Center (ERRC) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The focus of the ERRC research is on reducing pollution in "batch processing" on manufacturing typically used by pharmaceutical and the specialty chemicals industry. Some of the planned research projects at the Center include: novel amphiphillic star polymers as solvents for emission control in the pharmaceutical industry; novel ceramic membranes for VOC Separation and AI system for process design and performance monitoring etc. A comprehensive solvent database will also be built to assist optimum solvent selection and experiment with solvent replacement opportunities where organic solvent systems potentially can be replaced with aqueous or neat systems. Besides NJIT, the Ohio State University, Penn State and MIT will also participate in the research program of the I/UCRC. The Program Manager recommends New Jersey Institute of Technology be award $50,000 for the first year of a five-year continuing award. Near the end of each 12-month period the Program Manager and/or the Division Director of the Engineering Education Centers Division will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, including the following: 1) the extent to which the university/industry interaction is developing; 2) extent to which the support base is developing; and 3) the extent to which a collaborative, robust research program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommend support for the next period of this continuing award.
