GOALI/RUI Collaborative Proposal - Characterization and Modeling for Improved Performance of Batch Slurry Processes

化学系和工程目标计划将支持东卡罗来纳大学的Paul Gemperline教授、俄克拉荷马州立大学的Frank Chambers教授和田纳西大学的Ligo Song教授的合作目标研究计划。研究团队将与杜邦公司的研究人员合作，开发一种在流动条件下分析泥浆的新方法。这项研究将结合采样、光学和质谱学检测以及化学计量学数据分析技术来监控这些具有挑战性的泥浆样品的质量。该研究将为工业条件下复杂样品的分析提供一种新的方法。它还将为本科生和研究生提供一个极好的培训机会，他们将与学术和工业研究人员合作，解决紧迫和具有挑战性的分析问题。

The Division of Chemistry and the Enginnering GOALI Program will support the collaborative GOALI research program of Prof. Paul Gemperline of East Carolina University, Prof. Frank Chambers of Oklahoma State University and Prof. Liguo Song of the University of Tennessee. The team of investigators will collaborate with Dupont researchers to develop a new method for the analysis of slurries under flow conditions. The research will combine sampling, optical and mass spectrometric detection and chemometric data analysis techniques to monitor the quality of these challenging slurry samples. The study will provide a new methodology for the analysis of complex samples under industrial conditions. It will also provide an excellent training opportunity to undergraduate and graduate students who will work together with academic and industrial researchers to solve a pressing and challenging analysis problem.
