And more…
Topics Include:
- Energy-Enhanced Output:
- Natural gas separations- Acid gas removal, nitrogen removal, dehydration;
- Petrochemical separations- olefin/paraffin separation; isomer separation; hydrogen recovery;
- High-performance membranes and novel processes for more energy-efficient clean water production.
- Clean Environment: Carbon capture and separation (materials and processes).
- Novel Functional Materials: Porous materials for new technologies with potentially high impact – gas storage, separations, catalysis, controlled drug delivery, biomedical applications.
