Graduate Research Traineeships in Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing

南卡罗来纳大学化学与机械工程系将建立一个跨学科的培训项目，重点是在制造过程中减少、回收或消除有害溶剂。这个项目在环保意识制造解决了一个问题，这是非常重要的整个制造频谱，并影响到大大小小的行业。该项目包括与南卡罗来纳州的小企业进行重要的互动，并得到州环境控制部的支持。此外，与AlliedSignal， at&t和Westvaco等大公司的密切合作确保学员将广泛接触工业面临的基础和应用问题。受训者将在以下三个广泛领域之一进行研究：变压吸附用于溶剂回收和再循环；超临界流体溶剂替代技术及工艺改造或溶剂密集型制造过程（包括吸附和超临界流体技术）的建模，用于生命周期分析和环境设计。建模工作的目的是加速学术研究成果向工业（包括小企业）的转移。学员将接受优秀学术学者和行业导师的指导。一些人将在国内行业实习，而另一些人可能会在德国的AT&amp；T全球信息系统公司实习，根据该培训计划的安排。这些学员还将接受课堂教学指导。

GER-9554556 Peters The Departments of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina will establish an interdisciplinary traineeship program focusing on the reduction, recycle, or elimination of hazardous solvents in manufacturing processes. This program in Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing addresses an issue which is of great importance across the manufacturing spectrum, and which affects both large and small industries. The program includes significant interaction with small businesses in the State of South Carolina, as well as support from the State Department of Environmental Control. In addition, close collaboration with large companies such as AlliedSignal, AT&T, and Westvaco ensures that trainees will receive a broad exposure to fundamental and applied problems facing industry. Trainees will perform research in one of three broad areas: pressure swing adsorption for solvent recovery and recycle; supercritical fluid technology for solvent substitution and process modification; or modeling of solvent-intensive manufacturing processes (including adsorption and supercritical fluid technologies) for life cycle analysis and environmental design. The modeling effort in particular is designed to hasten the transfer of results of academic research to industry, including small businesses. Trainees will receive mentoring form outstanding academic scholars, as well as from industrial mentors. Some will have internships in domestic industries, while others may apprentice with AT&T Global Information Systems in Germany under an arrangement developed for this traineeship program. These trainees will also be given instruction in classroom teaching.
