  1. Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN (United States)
The object of this discussion is to look at the needs for research and development in the emerging technologies that are most readily used in the process industries. This is a very daunting task, since the technologies that have developed or been suggested over the years have been numerous. In this second of two sessions on the process industries specific promising emerging technologies were reviewed. Discussion focused on seven unit operations, some of which have broad applicability in a wide range of process industries. These were: electrophoresis; field-enhanced adsorption; stabilized operations; field-enhanced solvent extraction; field-enhanced distillation; field-enhanced membranes; field-enhanced filtration.
