The functions of separation processes include the removal of impurities from raw materials, products, and by-products; the separation of recycle streams; and the removal of contaminants from air and water waste streams. For the chemical, petroleum refining, and materials processing industries as a group, separation technologies are critical for reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and increasing the efficiency of raw material use.

Based on these documents, industry groups have developed research agendas, devised implementation strategies, and committed resources to conduct and manage research projects. Table 1-1 shows the status of the vision documents and road maps for the IOF.

In 1995, OIT asked the National Research Council, through the National Materials Advisory Board, to evaluate their research and development program strategy; provide guidance during the transition to the new "market pull" strategy; and assess the effects of the change on OIT's cross-cutting technology programs, i.e., programs that apply to several industries. The National Research Council's Committee on Industrial Technology Assessments (CITA)
