Engineering Foundation Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption to be Held in Sonthofen, West Germany, May 7-12, 1989

这项提案是为参加“第三届国际吸附基础会议”的与会者提供旅费补贴，该会议由工程基金会和西德的相应组织共同主办。吸附在化学、食品、石油和制药工业的许多重要过程中起着重要甚至核心的作用。关于这个主题的第一次会议是在1983年由工程基金会赞助的，第二次是在1986年。虽然已建立的工业继续取得技术进步，但最近在生物技术、生物化学、生物医学和环境工程方面的活动扩大了吸附过程的用途。欧洲工人在这一重要技术领域取得进步的速度至少与美国工人一样快；因此，通过让美国接触到欧洲的工作，美国社区可以更快地从中受益。

This proposal is for travel subsidies for attendees at the "Third International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption," co-sponsored by the Engineering Foundation and a corresponding organization in West Germany. Adsorption plays an important or even central role in many important processes in the chemical, food, petroleum and pharmaceutical industries. The first conference on this topic was sponsored by the Engineering Foundation in 1983, the second in 1986. While technical advances continue to be made in established industries, recent activities in biotechnology, biochemical, biomedical, and environmental engineering have broadened the usefulness of adsorption processes. European workers are making progress in this important area of technology at least as fast as are US workers; thus, by exposing the US to the European work, the US community can benefit from it more quickly.
