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

本提案是为出席“第三届 国际会议吸附的基本原理，”共同主办 由工程基金会和西方的一个相应组织 德国。 吸附在许多方面起着重要甚至核心的作用。 化工、食品、石油和 制药行业。 关于这个主题的第一次会议是由工程师协会主办的。 1983年成立，1986年第二次成立。 虽然技术进步 继续在既定的行业，最近的活动， 生物技术、生物化学、生物医学和环境工程 拓宽了吸附过程的用途。 欧洲 工人们正在这一重要的技术领域取得进展， 美国的经济增长速度比美国更快;因此，通过将美国暴露在 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.
