Conference Service Mandl

abstract: The annual Analytical Research Forum (ARF) is the premier Analytical Science meeting of the RSC and is held annually at a location in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland. The meeting is aimed primarily toward early-stage analytical science students (PhD students and postdoctoral researchers). The invited lectures will be selected to reflect the broad range of research interests giving attendees exposure to a number of analytical science applications.

abstract: The annual Analytical Research Forum (ARF) is the premier Analytical Science meeting of the RSC and will be held this year at the University of Hull. The meeting is primarily for early-stage analytical science researchers (industrial scientists, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) to present their latest results in the context of the wider analytical science community. The programme, which features both poster sessions and lectures, will include oral presentations from students, medal winners and international leaders in the field. Following the success of the 2007 meeting, we expect this meeting to be attended by around 200 delegates.

abstract: There will be a full scientific programme over the five days of the conference, covering all aspects of dioxins, Stockholm POPs, brominated flame retardants, perfluorinated chemicals, and emerging contaminants. The venue is the world-class conference facilities of the International Convention Centre in the center of Birmingham, the UK's 2nd largest city. In addition to a full scientific programme in five parallel sessions, there will be a full social programme. Topics covered fall within the folowing cross-cutting themes: Sampling and Analysis Sources Environmental Transport and Fate Environmental Levels and Trends Human Exposure (Dietary and Non-Dietary) Effects (Toxicology, Epidemiology) Control Strategies

abstract: Water is perhaps the most important chemical substance known. Without it, the very existence of life would be questionable.

abstract: Carbon Capture and Storage is the most exciting proposition for reducing emissions and tackling climate change across a broad range of industries. Institute members throughout the world are working on challenging R&D projects to bring the technology into commercial reality. In order for the technology to develop engineers need to take the lead in ensuring the public accept this emerging technology by addressing key issues with carbon dioxide capture, transmission and sub surface sequestration. The aim of this seminar is to explore the technologies available to design power plants for carbon capture, the technologies for the capture process itself and the provisions will allow carbon capture to be installed at a later date, transportation options for carbon dioxide and the technology and options for storage of carbon dioxide.
