Optimal Plant Operation of Industrial Reverse Osmosis Desalination

Oct 29, 2012
Mingheng Li
A comprehensive first-principles based mathematical model, which explicitly accounts for membrane hydraulic permeability, pump characteristic curves and retentate pressure drop, is developed to describe the reverse osmosis desalination process. Parameters used in the model are derived from data...

Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Materials and Membranes for Molecular Separations

Oct 29, 2012
Sankar Nair
This talk will describe our recent progress in the synthesis and processing of MOF/ZIF materials for molecular separation applications, and their subsequent use in the fabrication of membrane/thin film devices for such uses. New separations technology is key to increased energy efficiency in the...

Looking to the Future in Continuous Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Oct 29, 2012
Richard D. Braatz
This presentation describes the motivations, challenges, and opportunities in continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing. Some of the motivations are particularly intriguing, such as semicontinuous and continuous-flow unit operations that have the potential to have order-of-magnitude higher...
