Travel Support for 6th International Zeolite Membrane Meeting, June 10-16, 2013, Jeju Island, Korea

第六届国际沸石膜会议（IZMM 2013）将于2013年6月16日至20日在韩国济州岛举行。PI要求部分旅费支持来自美国的与会者参加本次分子筛膜领域的国际会议。申请的大部分资金将用于支持来自美国的年轻调查人员的旅费。IZMM 2013是一系列成功会议的延续，包括在日本岐阜市（1998年），荷兰Purmerend（2001年），科罗拉多州Breckenridge（2004年），西班牙萨拉戈萨（2007年）和希腊Loutraki举行的IZMM会议。在这次重点会议上，来自世界各地学术界和工业界的科学家和工程师将展示，分享和讨论他们关于沸石膜和相关分子筛的合成，表征和应用的最新发现，新想法和挑战，包括金属有机框架，一种新兴的纳米多孔材料。将讨论沸石薄膜作为膜反应器、纳米反应器和微反应器在化学、石化和生物炼制工业中的应用，以及作为燃料电池和电子设备的组件。更广泛的影响：重点将放在技术和科学的挑战，应该克服进一步的商业发展的沸石膜为基础的产品，以解决重要的社会和技术问题。与会者将确定这一快速发展领域未来的研究挑战。会议将为年轻的教师和研究生提供展示他们的工作和在国际社会建立自己的手段，期望它将促进国际合作的形成。

1262695 Hae-Kwon JeongThe 6th International Zeolite Membrane Meeting (IZMM 2013) will be held between June 16th and 20th, 2013 on Jeju Island, South Korea. The PI is requesting partial travel support for participants from the US to attend this international meeting in the field of molecular sieve membranes. The bulk of the requested funds will support travel expenses for young investigators from the US. IZMM 2013 is the continuation of a successful series of meetings including the IZMM conferences at Gifu, Japan (1998), Purmerend , The Netherlands (2001), Breckenridge, Colorado (2004), Zaragoza, Spain (2007), and Loutraki , Greece. In this focused meeting, the scientists and engineers from both academia and industry around the world will present, share, and discuss their recent findings, new ideas, and challenges regarding the synthesis, characterization, and applications of membranes of zeolites and related molecular sieves including metal-organic frameworks, an emerging class of nanoporous materials. Emerging applications of zeolite films as membrane-, nano- and micro-reactors for applications in the chemical, petrochemical, and biorefinery industries and as components of fuel cells and electronic devices will be discussed. Broader Impacts: Emphasis will be placed on the technological and scientific challenges that should be overcome for further commercial development of zeolite-film-based products to solve important societal and technological problems. Participants will identify the future challenges for research in this rapidly evolving field. The meeting will provide the means for young faculty and graduate students to present their work and establish themselves in the international community with the expectation that it will catalyze the formation of international collaborations.
