Chemical Process Systems (CPS)
U.S. National Science Foundation
About this opportunity
Society relies on chemical processes to turn raw materials into useful products. The Chemical Process Systems (CPS) program invests in fundamental research on chemical and biochemical processes to make them more efficient, sustainable, and resilient. New CPS technologies for manufacturing, biotechnology , critical minerals, energy, food, and other national priorities will help make the U.S. more competitive and secure . Research supported by the CPS program covers the full breadth of chemical and biochemical process innovation. It spans reaction engineering and molecular thermodynamics ; reactor design ; catalysis ; electrochemical systems ; separations ; and process design . The program encourages proposals that connect the molecular scale to process and plant scales . The CPS program exp...
