There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The U.S. manufacturing sector depends heavily upon fuels as a feedstock or raw material and for the production of a variety of usable products. Traditional methods for converting these raw materials into products require processes that consume large amounts of energy in the form of heat or electrical power and produce harmful byproducts that are damaging to the environment.
Researchers in Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering are conducting a wide range of advanced chemical separations technologies and catalytic process to save energy, improve efficiency, and reduce environmental contaminants resulting from the conversion of carbon-based raw materials, such as coal, natural gas, crude oil and renewable materials, such as biomass into high-value chemicals and liquid fuels.
