AIChE/ACS Frontiers of Chemistry, Materials Science & Chemical Engineering for Circular Economy:


: [ENVR] Division of Environmental Chemistry

This symposium will highlight the latest developments in environmental/green chemistry, materials science and chemical engineering that lay foundations for developing circular economy of the future. It will offer sustainable solutions for numerous environmental problems by focusing primarily on waste prevention as a primary strategy with secondary strategy focused on waste recycling. For example, specifically it will include such important topics as waste plastics, reuse of construction and other materials, critical materials (such as rare earth metals ) that can be of interest to both ACS and AIChE communities. The submissions can include both experimental results and modeling to demonstrate a clear link of the research to circular economy and sustainability.
