An International Conference on Advances in Chemical Technologies for Water and Wastewater Treatment will be organized by Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) under the co-organization of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology (XAUAT). The event will be held in Xi'an , the historical city of China , from 15th to 18th May, 2008.
CCS, founded in 1932, is among the most influential academic organizations in China . Chemists of various disciplines all over the country are associated under the umbrella of CCS in a variety of branches and groups, of which the Group of Chemists for Water and Wastewater Treatment (GCWWT) has been active for long both domestically and internationally. The biennial conference on chemical technologies for water and wastewater treatment started in 1990 is the most important event of GCWWT to bring scientists, engineers together for exchanging the latest information on the progress in research and engineering practice covering a broad range of technologies related to chemistry, physicochemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry as well as process modeling and simulation and so on. In order to create an opportunity for international academic exchange in these fields, GCWWT proposed to make its 9th biennial conference as an international conference on chemical technologies for water and wastewater treatment. The proposal gained support from NSFC and JST which are leading foundations in China and Japan for science and technical researches and are mutually supporting China-Japan joint projects on water environment. Many world-famous professors and scholars have happily accepted the organizers' invitation to join the scientific committee and to give keynote lecturers at the conference.
The conference will focus on the latest progress in the theoretical and practical studies of chemical technologies which can be applied to drinking water purification, domestic and industrial wastewater treatment, improvement of sanitary condition and protection of water environment. It will bring together scientists, engineers and professionals from all sectors related to water and wastewater, including government agencies, research institutes, engineering consultants, educational and training institutions, and industries from different countries and regions for a full discussion of many related topics. Fruitful results are expected from the conference which will enrich the knowledge and technologies in the related fields and promote international exchange between Chinese water chemists and the outside world.
The organizers look forward to the attendance of scientists and professionals all over the world. |
