Distillation is the predominant method for chemical separation across the petrochemical, pharmaceutical and fine-chemical industries. Traditional column designs often suffer from high thermal energy ...

Process Engineering encompasses the analysis, modeling, simulation, optimization, design, control and operation of process systems, from micro-sized systems to huge industrial facilities. Many ...

Since it was developed a few decades ago, the chemical separation process of organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN), has drawn attention for its potential to revolutionize vital industries, including ...

With a new polymer that only attracts certain substances from solutions when electrically activated, researchers have taken a major step towards sustainable chemical separation. A team based at the ...

Researchers have found a chemical 'chameleon' that could improve the process used to purify rare-earth metals used in clean energy, medical and national security applications. Researchers at the ...

Process chemists are responsible for identifying a chemical process that is safe, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly. How do they do it on a day-to-day basis? Join ACS Institute Educator Joe ...
