Abstract: 

New molecules and materials, such as solvents, adsorbents and catalysts, are crucial for discovering novel pathways for energy and environmental sustainability. Molecules and materials determine the operating conditions and directly influence the cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency and overall performance of a chemical process. However, identifying materials with desired properties that address multiscale tradeoffs and conflicting economic, environmental and sustainability goals can be challenging. On the other hand, designing chemical process systems without considering the vast molecular design space may lead to suboptimal designs and missed opportunities for process intensification. Research in computer-aided molecular and process design (CAMPD) has emerged to address these challenges. In this talk, I will argue why we need to integrate molecular and process designs together, and how we can achieve such integration. I will draw specific examples from our recent CAMPD work on ionic liquid-based extractive distillation of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) mixed-refrigerants exhibiting high global warming potential, and adsorption-based carbon capture with zeolites.
