Chemical separations are critical to almost every aspect of our daily lives, from the energy we use to the medications we take, but consume 10-15% of the total energy used in the world. It has been estimated that highly selective membranes could make these separations 10-times more energy efficient and save 100 million tonnes/year of carbon dioxide emissions and £3.5 billion in energy costs annually (US DoE). More selective separation processes are essential to "maximise the advantages for UK industry from the global shift to clean growth", and will assist the move towards "low carbon technologies and the efficient use of resources" (HM Govt Clean Growth Strategy, 2017). In the healthcare sector there is growing concern over the cost of the latest pharmaceuticals, which are often biologicals, with an unmet need for highly selective separation of product-related impurities such as active from inactive viruses (HM Govt Industrial Strategy 2017). In the water sector, the challenges lie in the removal of ions and small molecules at very low concentrations, so-called micropollutants (Cave Review, 2008). Those developing sustainable approaches to chemicals manufacture require novel separation approaches to remove small amounts of potent inhibitors during feedstock preparation. Manufacturers of high-value products would benefit from higher recovery offered by more selective membranes. In all these instances, higher selectivity separation processes will provide a step-change in productivity, a critical need for the UK economy, as highlighted in the UK Government's Industrial Strategy and by our industrial partners. SynHiSel's vision is to create the high selectivity membranes needed to enable the adoption of a novel generation of emerging high-value/high-efficiency processes.Our ambition is to change the way the global community perceives performance, with a primary focus on improved selectivity and its process benefits - while maintaining gains already made in permeance and longevity.

从我们使用的能量到服用的药物，化学分离对于我们日常生活的几乎每个方面都是至关重要的，但是消耗了世界上使用的总能量的10-15％。据估计，高度选择性的膜可以使这些分离提高10倍的能源效率，并节省1亿吨/年的二氧化碳排放量和每年35亿英镑的能源成本（美国DOE）。更有选择性的分离过程对于“从全球转变到清洁增长最大化的优势”至关重要，并且将有助于向“低碳技术和有效利用资源的有效利用”（HM Govt Clean Growth Strategy，2017年）。在医疗保健领域，人们对通常是生物制剂的最新药物的成本越来越关注，并且对高度选择性分离产品相关的杂质（例如从非活性病毒中的活性病毒）（HM Govt工业策略2017）进行了未满足的需求。在水部门，挑战在于以非常低的浓度（所谓的微污染物）去除离子和小分子（Cave Review，2008）。那些开发用于化学制造商的可持续方法的人需要新颖的分离方法，以消除原料制备过程中少量的潜在抑制剂。高价值产品的制造商将受益于更多选择性膜提供的更高恢复。在所有这些情况下，较高的选择性分离过程将在英国政府的工业战略和我们的工业合作伙伴中强调，在英国经济方面的生产力将逐步变化，对英国经济的关键需求。 Synhisel的愿景是创建所需的高选择性机制，以实现新一代新兴的高价值/高效率过程。我们的野心是改变全球社区绩效的方式，主要关注提高选择性及其过程益处的主要重点 - 同时维持已经取得了终止和长寿所取得的收益。
