Support for the NATO ARW Green Industrial Applications of Ionic Liquids

摘要提案编号：0083326提案类型：研究员发起国际研究研讨会首席研究员：Robin D. rogers隶属机构：阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨国际会议北约离子液体绿色工业应用高级研究研讨会该奖项部分支持美国研究人员参加将于2000年4月12日至16日在希腊克里特岛举行的北约离子绿色工业应用高级研究研讨会。本次研讨会将讨论一个令人兴奋的化学新领域，它提供了一种替代有毒和挥发性有机溶剂的方法，用于各种类型的工业加工，使用室温离子液体。它将汇集来自欧洲和美国的大约50名研究人员。学术和工业研究人员将参加有关离子液体的分离、电化学、催化、化学合成和其他工业应用的会议。研讨会的主要资金来自北约，但该组织有一些代表性的指导方针，限制了美国的参与。美国国家科学基金会的少量支持将用于支付会议费用和北约基金未涵盖的美国参与者的部分差旅费，包括一些年轻的教师和学生。此外，这笔资金将用于确保工业组织的充分参与。本次会议所产生的交流将刺激离子液体及其工业应用的发展，并促进欧洲和美国之间的科学合作

AbstractProposal number: 0083326Proposal type: Investigator Initiated for International Research WorkshopPrincipal investigator: Robin D. RogersAffiliation: University of Alabama Tuscaloosa International Conference Award: NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Green Industrial Applications of Ionic LiquidsThis award supports partially the participation by American researchers in the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Green Industrial Applications of Ionic to be held in Crete, Greece, from April 12 to 16, 2000. This workshop will deal with an exciting new area of chemistry that offers an alternative to toxic and volatile organic solvents for use in various types of industrial processing, the use of room-temperature ionic liquids. It will bring together about 50 or so researchers from Europe and the US. Both academic and industrial researchers will participate in sessions on separations, electrochemistry, catalysis, chemical syntheses, and other industrial applications of ionic liquids. The major funding for the workshop is coming from NATO, but this organization has certain representational guidelines that limit US participation. Minor support from NSF will be used to pay conference fees and partial travel expenses for US participants not covered by NATO funds, including some younger faculty and students. Also, the funding will be used to insure adequate participation by industrial organizations. The communication resulting from this conference will stimulate the development of ionic liquids and their industrial applications as well as promote scientific cooperation between Europe and the U.S.
