Lab Showcase – Spotlight on Argonne National Laboratory Separations Technologies

Separation processes are critical across industry verticals such as hydrogen, biofuels, biomanufacturing and water. One of the significant challenges is the high cost and energy intensity of product separations, purification, and recovery. Advances in separation technologies are needed to reduce energy use, harmful emissions, and overall process costs. This technology showcase will highlight opportunities for advanced materials and processes in separation technologies – with a particular emphasis on biomanufacturing/bioenergy and water applications – including technologies that are available for licensing.
