Design of Novel Chemistries and Processes that Enable Sustainable Chemistry Innovation for Industry and Infrastructure: Part 1

Based on the overwhelming responses for Sustainable Process Design for the last several years, we continue to bring the current and forefront research findings to our session. This session will highlight Innovation for Industry and Infrastructure focused processes that are inspired by novel design strategies leading to successful application of technologies to enable a circular-sustainable economy. Case studies will be presented to illustrate how sustainable process design plays key role in industry/academia/NGO that have successfully implemented the novel design in chemistries, synthetic pathways and processes. This would enable a circular, more sustainable economy and share the strategies that ultimately worked out for its end use to achieve its targeted goals. The examples from the session will describe the design of a process with Innovation for Industry and Infrastructure as the overall goal and approaches taken, the challenges faced and how a solution for the challenge was achieved. Also, this session will discuss the importance of implementing sustainability as a basic process design criterion to successfully achieve a closed-loop economy.
