Regulation-Driven Process Chemistry

Traditionally, most industrial chemical processes were targeted toward meeting required product specifications at competitive prices without much regard to emissions from hazardous chemicals and their by-products. Recently, however, these considerations, especially process emissions such as solid waste, aqueous discharges, and air emissions, have dominated process development because of the regulatory and permit requirements of the

Environmental Protection Agency (ERA). Secondary considerations include the cost of manufacture of product and the cost of disposal of waste. 

With the increasing awareness of human exposure risk factors, the EPA has promulgated several regulations that apply to air and water emissions from process activities, storage of bulk chemicals, and treatment and disposal of solid wastes in a given manufacturing facility

Transportation A student-driven, chemistry-based research project focused on campus transportation issues including estimations of carbon dioxide and smog-related pollutants resulting from campus activities. The project related directly to the course discussions of global warming, smog, local air quality, and air pollution regulations framed by basic chemical concepts such as chemical composition of the atmosphere, basic chemical reactions (e.g., combustion processes and photochemical reactions), stoichiometry of...
