A Computer Aided Design Approach to the Design of Environmentally Benign Solvents

摘要CTS-9630917 Luke Achenie 开发新溶剂是为了响应以下一个或多个因素：（i）对更好性能或降低成本的需求，（ii）新工艺的存在，（iii）联邦和州环境法规的变化，以及（iv）安全和健康考虑。 开发具有改进性能的新溶剂通常是一个非常耗时且昂贵的过程，涉及化学和昂贵的实验研究的组合。 在这些试错方法中，合成不同的溶剂，测量或推断它们的物理和/或化学性质，并与该应用的期望性质进行比较。 该提案涉及启动一个系统的研究方法，以找到一个系统的框架，设计清洁溶剂的印刷业。 该框架同时考虑了工艺性能和经济性以及健康、安全和环境目标。 通过系统程序设计的“最佳”橡皮布清洗（印刷机的清洁溶剂）可以显著节省能源，并将对环境的影响降至最低。 ***

ABSTRACT CTS-9630917 Luke Achenie New Solvents are developed in response to one or more of the following: (i) a desire for better performance or reduced cost, (ii) the presence of a new process (iii) change in federal and state environmental regulations and (iv) safety and health considerations. Developing new solvents with improved properties is, in general, a very time consuming and expensive process involving a combination of heuristics and costly experimental studies. In these trial and error approaches, different solvents are synthesized, their physical and/or chemical properties are measured or inferred and compared with the desire properties for that application. This proposal deals with initiating a systems research approach into finding a systematic framework for designing cleaning solvents for the printing industry. This frame work simultaneously takes into consideration process performance and economics as well as health, safety and environmental targets. An "optimal" blanket wash (cleaning solvent for the printing press) designed through a systematic procedure can result in significant energy savings as well as minimal environmental impact. ***
