The pharmaceutical industry and fine chemical industries produce a vast array of important drugs and consumer products that are ubiquitous in our daily lives. The manufacture of these molecules involves large quantities of organic solvents, which impose a significant economic, environmental and sustainability burdens on these manufacturing processes. It is typically challenging and often economically infeasible to recover and re-use organic solvents from industrial manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

A team of researchers led by Dr. Sui Zhang at NUS ChBE has invented a solution that could revolutionize this field \u2013 organic membrane materials for solvent filtration that incorporate graphene and withstand high temperatures and harsh solvents that severely limit the performance of conventional materials. They have accomplished this feat through a combination of molecular modeling, simulation, process modeling and materials synthesis, epitomizing the various aspects of engineering innovation.<\/p>\n
