Workshop on Biotechnology Applicable to the Mining and MetalRefining Industries and to the Fossil Fuel Processing Industries, to be held in Troy, New York on May 28-30, l985

本提案的目的是组织一次研讨会，以研究在金属溶液开采、矿石和含金属固体和液态废物中提取金属以及化石燃料脱硫中使用现有和潜在微生物工艺的机会。讲习班将为工业代表提供机会，介绍基础和应用研究人员以前没有考虑过的问题，以寻求可能的生物技术解决办法。对微生物过程感兴趣的科学家、政府和工业研究人员都可以参加。

The objective of this proposal is to organize a workshop to examine theopportunities for the use of available and potential microbial processes in the solution mining of metals, metal extraction from ores, and from solid and liquid metal-containing wastes, and the desulfurization of fossil fuels. The workshop will provide an opportunity for industrial representatives to present problems not previously considered by basic and applied researchers for possible biotechnological solutions. Attendance will be open to scientists andgovernment and industrial researchers who have interests in microbial processes.
