Membranes are used in a variety of industries such as the manufacture of drugs, production of food and beverages, treatment of drinking and wastewater and recovery of valuable chemical species from waste streams. The Center for Membrane Applications, Science and Technology (MAST) is collaborating with membrane manufacturers and users in these fields and others, to promote scientific knowledge and to develop new products that advance human health, prosperity and welfare. By establishing multidisciplinary project teams with scientists from a range of industries as well as university researchers across four institutions, the MAST Center is addressing challenging real world technical issues that are of significant societal impact in the areas of healthcare and environmental sustainability. The University of Colorado Site is working with industry to develop more efficient membrane materials and processes for desalination, removing contaminants such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from driving water, biomanufacturing, and separation and capture of CO2 and other chemicals. Further, the MAST Center is working with local minority serving community colleges and schools to train a skilled workforce to support a developing local biotechnology industry and to promote diversity. The Center for Membrane Applications, Science and Technology (MAST) conducts industrially relevant research in six areas: (1) development and characterization of new membranes (2) development of green membrane manufacturing methods; (3) development of membrane processes for water treatment, (4) manufacture of products for the (4) biopharmaceutical industry, (5) pharmaceutical industry and (6) membrane applications in food and beverage industries. The Center works with industrial partners representing membrane users and manufacturers and faculty and students from four institutions in order to develop technological solutions to challenging separations. In parallel, the Center trains students to be future leaders of technology development. University of Colorado Site brings unique expertise in membrane fundamentals, novel membrane materials and processes, and novel membrane characterization techniques. The range of expertise and capabilities are crucial to addressing knowledge gaps and challenges facing membrane industries, including, fouling control in water purification and biomanufacturing, new and more efficient membrane materials and processes, advanced metrology to better understand the transport processes in membrane technologies. The unique MAST Center research platform will be leveraged by the excellent programs at University of Colorado Site to develop future workforces at different levels with emphasis on promoting diversity and inclusiveness.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

膜用于多种行业，例如制造药物，食品和饮料的生产，饮酒和废水处理以及从废物流中回收有价值的化学物种。膜应用中心，科学技术（MAST）正在与这些领域和其他人的膜制造商和用户合作，以​​促进科学知识并开发推进人类健康，繁荣和福利的新产品。通过与来自各个行业的科学家以及四个机构的大学研究人员建立多学科项目团队，桅杆中心正在解决对现实世界中的挑战性技术问题，这些技术在医疗保健和环境可持续性领域具有重大社会影响。科罗拉多大学的网站正在与行业合作，以开发更有效的膜材料和过程来进行海水淡化，从而从驾驶水，生物制造以及二氧化碳和其他化学物质的分离和捕获中去除污染物，例如多氟烷基物质（PFA）。此外，MAST中心正在与当地少数民族为社区大学和学校提供培训，以培训熟练的劳动力，以支持发展的当地生物技术行业并促进多样性。膜应用中心，科学技术（MAST）在六个领域进行工业相关研究：（1）新膜的开发和表征（2）开发绿色膜制造方法； （3）开发水处理膜过程，（4）（4）生物制药行业的产品，（5）制药行业和（6）食品和饮料行业中的膜应用。该中心与代表膜使用者，制造商和教职员工以及来自四个机构的学生以及来自四个机构的学生合作，以开发技术解决方案来挑战分离。同时，该中心训练学生成为技术发展的未来领导者。科罗拉多大学网站带来了膜基础知识，新型膜材料和过程以及新型膜表征技术的独特专业知识。专业知识和能力的范围对于解决膜行业面临的知识差距和挑战至关重要，包括水净化和生物制造的结构控制，新的，更有效的膜材料和过程，高级计量学以更好地了解膜技术的运输过程。科罗拉多大学网站的出色计划将利用独特的桅杆中心研究平台，以发展不同级别的未来劳动力，重点是促进多样性和包容性。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
