Session: 10A: Process Synthesis & Design for Sustainability I

This session invites contributions on process synthesis & design to enhance sustainability, including developing or implementing new or existing process design tools, algorithms, and methods. Sustainability topics include the circular chemical economy, decarbonization, electrification, water treatment and desalination, critical minerals processing and recycling. Approaches may include process intensification, new reaction routes, the use of innovative solvents, novel reactors, integrated processes (e.g., reactive or hybrid separations) or new (e.g., dynamic) operating modes. Papers on practical implementations, as well as methodological contributions, are equally welcome. Other major 10A sessions for abstract submission include (i) 10A: Advances in Process Design, (2) 10A: Process Design for a Net Zero Carbon Economy, (3) 10A: Design Under Uncertainty (co-sponsored by 10C)
