Conclusions and Recommendations

Separation processes are essential elements of the technological foundations of the seven IOF industries included in this report. For the chemical and petroleum refining industries, separation processes are used to separate and purify the products of reactions. For the aluminum, steel, and metal casting industries, separation processes are used, among other things, to purify molten metal and to sort scrap. For the glass industry, separation processes are essential to the recycling of preand postconsumer cullet, and for the forest products industry, separations are involved in nearly all process steps of pulping and papermaking. In addition to the importance of separation technologies in industrial processes, separation processes also present opportunities for waste reduction and more efficient use of energy and raw materials. New developments in separation technologies are, therefore, critical for the continued productivity and global competitiveness of these industries.

Key Separation Process Needs

In its analysis of key separation process needs, the panel included the seven industries involved in the OIT research program at the time of the panel' s inception. These seven industries are the chemical, petroleum refining, aluminum, steel, metal casting, glass, and forest products industries. Although the panel identified a number of areas where separation issues affect more than one of these industries, the panel also concluded that they are highly diverse in terms of their separation needs and technologies and warrant individual treatment. In fact, the panel found that many important separation problems are industry-specific.
