Advanced technology program, role

New York. Brookhaven is a multi-program national laboratory operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for the DOE. Six Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made at the laboratory. Brookhaven has a staff of approximately 3,000 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support staff, and over 4,000 guest researchers annually. Brookhaven National Laboratory s role for the DOE is to produce excellent science and advanced technology with the cooperation, support, and appropriate involvement of our scientific and local communities. According to the BNL homepage, the fundamental goals of the laboratory are as follows ... 

Advances such as these underscore the need for maintaining a proper perspective on the role of modeling in adsorptive technology. At present, modeling provides a useful means for interpretation of benchscale adsorption data, and for translation of that data to the design of appropriate pilot test programs. It is unrealistic in most water and waste applications to use models for the direct design of...
