Themes

Discussion will focus on how to reduce the negative impact on the environment of industrial chemical processes and other fabrication procedures by using "cleaner" and more energy-efficient processes with recycling and by appropriate effluent treatment. Attention will also focus on stored solid or liquid waste and remediation of contaminated land resulting from pollution problems in the past. Particular themes are:

  • soil and water remediation
  • metal ion and organic removal
  • recycling of process liquors and materials
  • clean synthesis
  • monitoring and sensors
  • catalysis of thermal oxidations
  • catalytic photochemical processes.

Panel discussions will be designed to present suggestions for solving the specific pollution problems described in the workshop.

Lectures will be presented by invited speakers. Contributions in the form of posters are invited.

The results from the workshop will be disseminated through workshop proceedings and an IUPAC technical report.
