Many industrial processes and general necessities such as chemicals, medicines, clean water, safe food, and energy sources rely on chemical separations. However, the process of chemical separations is often overlooked during product development and this has led to inefficiency, unnecessary waste, and lack of consensus among chemists and engineers. A reevaluation of system design, establishment of standards, and an increased focus on the advancement of separation science are imperative in supporting increased efficiency, continued U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, and public welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Research Agenda for Transforming Separation Science\u003c\/i\u003e explores developments in the industry since the 1987 National Academies report, \u003ci\u003eSeparation and Purification: Critical Needs and Opportunities\u003c\/i\u003e. Many needs stated in the original report remain today, in addition to a variety of new challenges due to improved detection limits, advances in medicine, and a recent emphasis on sustainability and environmental stewardship. This report examines emerging chemical separation technologies, relevant developments in intersecting disciplines, and gaps in existing research, and provides recommendations for the application of improved separation science technologies and processes. This research serves as a foundation for transforming separation science, which could reduce global energy use, improve human and environmental health, and advance more efficient practices in various industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies of Sciences Engineeri,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Chemical Sciences and Technolog\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309491703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309491709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Academies of Sciences Engineeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447702434047,"sku":"9780309491709","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd5e38b8-35f8-4746-a83f-8807d0e1ca4b.jpg?v=1777234228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-research-agenda-for-transforming-national-academies-of-sciences-engineeri-9780309491709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
