The National Research Council Panel on Separation Technology for Industrial Recycling and Reuse was established to identify the most important needs for separation processes in the IOF; to identify separation technologies that can meet these needs, especially technologies that are applicable to two or more IOF industries; and to suggest criteria for identifying and coordinating research and development in separation technologies. KEY NEEDS FOR SEPARATION PROCESSES The panel included in its analysis the seven IOF industries that were involved in the program at the beginning of this study: chemicals (Chapter 2)

The panel identified five opportunities for coordinated programs: separation processes for the chemical and petroleum refining industries; bulk sorting technologies for the materials processing industries (especially aluminum, steel, metal casting, glass, and the polymer-recycling sector of the chemical industry) ; separation technologies for dilute gaseous and aqueous waste streams; drying and dewatering technologies; and lower cost oxygen production processes.

separation associated with chemical reaction, in other words, methods that combine reaction and separation in one process step (e.g., reactive metal complex sorbents and chemically facilitated transport membranes; combined chemical synthesis and separation processes; membrane reactors; and electrochemical methods of separation) Bulk Sorting Technologies for the Materials Processing Industries A number of the materials processing industries (aluminum, steel, metal casting, glass, and the polymer-recycling sector of the chemical industry)

in the chemical industry; the removal of entrained water from crude oil and the drying of natural gas in the petroleum refining industry; the drying of ceramic casting materials and reclamation sand in the metal casting industry; the drying of paper in the forest products industry; and the drying of sludges from waste gas scrubbing and wastewater treatment. Lower Cost Oxygen Production The chemical, petroleum refining, aluminum, steel, and glass industries have stated that lower cost oxygen would be beneficial to them in combustion and other processes.

Impact on Existing Processes and Equipment. Proposed projects should be evaluated for the potential economic impact of a new separation method and for the potential effect of that new method on existing processes and equipment.
