2022 Chemical Separations GRC

化学分离在现代世界中具有巨大且日益重要的作用。每一种化工产品的生产都涉及分离步骤。不幸的是，致力于上述化学分离的研究社区通常是孤立工作的。这将是该系列的第二次会议，化学家、材料科学家和化学工程师将汇聚一堂，研究广泛的分离技术。与会者能够听取不同应用领域的专家的意见，这对经验丰富的研究人员和职业生涯早期的专业人士都很有吸引力。会议计划包括21位受邀演讲者和9位讨论领袖，分别代表化学工程和化学研究。受邀的演讲者来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界。本次会议直接回应了2019年美国国家科学院报告《转型分离科学的研究议程》中强调的问题。该报告的一项关键建议是，“化学和化学工程分离界应寻求机会进行实质性的互动，以激发创造力，并将概念整合到研究和教育中。”GRC模式正是实现了这一目标，并在世界上最受尊敬的科学会议组织之一的支持下做到了这一点。化学分离是美国国家科学基金会界面工程计划化学过程系统群的四个主要研究领域之一。会议将通过介绍和讨论最新的基本发现和创新，为推进科学和工程的前沿做出贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Chemical separations are of immense and increasing importance in the modern world. Separation steps are involved in producing every chemical product. Unfortunately, the research communities working on chemical separations above typically work in isolation. This conference, which will be the second in the series, will bring together chemists, materials scientists and chemical engineers working with a wide range of separations technologies. The ability for attendees to hear from experts in a diverse range of applications domains will be attractive to both seasoned researchers and early career professionals. The conference program includes 21 invited speakers and 9 discussion leaders, representing both chemical engineering and chemistry research. The invited speakers come from academia, national labs and industry.This conference responds directly to issues highlighted in the 2019 National Academies report “A Research Agenda for Transforming Separation Science”. A key recommendation of that report is that “The chemistry and chemical-engineering separation communities should seek opportunities for substantive interactions that will inspire creativity and the integration of concepts in research and education.” The GRC format achieves precisely this goal, and does so under the aegis of one of the world’s most respected scientific conference organizations. Chemical Separations is one of the four major research areas in the Chemical Process Systems Cluster in the Interfacial Engineering Program at NSF. The conference will contribute to advancing the forefront of science and engineering by having presentation and discussion of the latest fundamental discoveries and innovations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
