Methods are being devised for process synthesis and conceptual design of chemical process systems. Topics of current interest include: combining reactions and separations, crystallization of organic materials, and systems with complex chemistries. The approach links the underlying physical and organic chemistry to the structure of the process flowsheet, and involves theoretical, experimental and computational methods. Applications are focused on specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
