Participant support for UV Symposium at Pacifichem 2015

1519829LindenParticipant支持2015年太平洋紫外光辐射研讨会光化学过程在工程系统和自然系统中正变得越来越重要。主要的国际科学会议之一每五年在夏威夷举行一次。这个地点的目的是吸引来自环太平洋国家以及世界其他地区的科学家和工程师。这次研讨会在2015年太平洋会议上举行，将是一项关于水消毒的光化学和利用阳光和工程紫外光高级氧化化学污染物的跨学科研究。重点是在水处理方面开展基础工作的研究人员、确定关键环境需求的机构、水处理解决方案的工业提供商以及经处理的水在发展中国家的应用之间的合作。本次研讨会将汇集在环境工程中光化学和光生物过程领域具有广泛背景和学科的具有国际视野的领导人和学生。研讨会的知识相关性与太平洋会议的独特人口结构有关。两个主要主题将组成这次研讨会：(1)消毒应用，其中一个要考虑的主要问题是生物的短波紫外线灭活的光化学；以及这项工作对紫外线消毒科学、商业应用和监管社区的影响。这将包括自然系统中在阳光下对安全水的病原体灭活的基础研究。反应化学和适合发展中国家和土著社区的系统设计的实际方面将是重点。(2)用于紫外线处理水中新出现的污染物的氧化和光解工艺，如药品和个人护理产品，用于一系列饮用水再利用的紫外线处理，紫外线水处理的具体技术，以及臭氧和紫外线等处理选择之间的协同作用。将重点介绍特定地理区域的水处理问题。

1519829LindenParticipant support for Ultraviolet Radiation Symposium at Pacifichem 2015Photochemical processes are becoming increasingly important in both engineered and natural systems. One of the premier international scientific conferences is held every five years in Hawaii. The purpose of this location is to attract scientists and engineers from the Pacific Rim countries as well as the rest of the world. This symposium, taking place at Pacifichem 2015 conference, will be an interdisciplinary study of the photochemistry of water disinfection and advanced oxidation of chemical contaminants using sunlight and engineered ultraviolet light. The emphasis is on collaborations between researchers performing fundamental work in water treatment, agencies that identify critical environmental needs, industrial providers of water treatment solutions, and applications of treated water in developing countries. This symposium will bring leaders and students with international perspectives across a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines in the area of photochemical and photobiological processes in environmental engineering.The intellectual relevance of the symposium is tied to the unique demographic of the Pacifichem conferences. Two main themes will make up this symposium: (1) Disinfection Applications, where a major issue to be considered is the photochemistry of short wavelength UV inactivation of organisms; and the impact of this work on UV disinfection science, commercial applications, and the regulatory community. This will include fundamental research on pathogen inactivation for safe water under sunlight in natural systems. Practical aspects of reaction chemistry and system design appropriate for developing countries and indigenous communities will be a focus. (2) Oxidation and Photolysis processes for UV treatment of emerging contaminants in water, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, UV treatment for a range of potable reuse applications, specific technologies for UV water treatment and synergies between treatment options such as ozone and UV. Water treatment issues specific to geographic regions will be highlighted.
