Artificial Intelligence for Chemical Reaction Predictions: IBM RXN for Chemistry"

Carbon capture (CCS) has become an important economic, industrial and environmental issue. However, there are technical aspects you may not understand because they typically aren’t covered in undergraduate curriculums. Attend this sponsored webinar if you not only design and operate a CCS plant, but also are expected to optimize or troubleshoot operations.

On January 21st, 2003, Members of AIChE's Center for Chemical Process Safety had the rare privilege to observe the safety procedures used at the Kennedy Space Center to load the hypergolic thruster fuels onto the Space Shuttle Columbia. Just 11 days later, the Columbia disintegrated on reentry. As details of the accident emerged from the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, it became clear that there were many lessons that chemical engineers could learn from NASA's actions leading up to this tragic accident. This presentation will link the loss of the Columbia to the 2005 explosion at the BP Texas City refinery which killed 15 and injured 180, and highlight six key actions useful to prevent chemical accidents, protect the integrity of research, and maybe even improve your life.

As the “central science,” the language of chemistry is essential to virtually all scientific disciplines. Communicating about millions of known, and more millions of unknown, chemical compounds, in an accurate, digestible, and elegant manner is essential to documenting the reproducibility and transparency of your research. This places the onus on chemists to make their supporting information clear. This webinar will point out various stages in micro and macro chemical workflows where employing integrated chemistry databases, drawing tools, and other “tricks of the trade” will streamline and improve the accuracy of your published research.

Optimising the chemistry, blending, and formulation of polymers can have profound impacts on the performance, economics, and sustainability of an array of products and industrial processes.
