Trochimczuk - Chairman Dr Tomasz Chmielewski Dr Anna Jakubiak-Marcinkowska Dr Sylwia Ronka Arleta Butewicz Joanna Czulak Małgorzata Kica Scope of the conference organized by: Faculty of Chemistry Wrocław University of Technology Wrocław The Organizing Committee of “Separation Science – Theory and Practice” would like to invite you to 2nd International Conference on Methods and Materials for Separation Processes. The main objective of the conference is to present and discuss the latest trends and achievements in methods and materials used in separation, isolation and purification processes used in chemistry, industry and in protection of environment. Phases equilibria, solvent extraction, membrane processes, flotation, chromatography, ion-exchange and materials for the above processes are the examples of topics of our primary interest. If you would like to obtain second circular and be informed about this conference please send an e-mail to the following address: E-mail: andrzej.trochimczuk@pwr.wroc.pl Or fax request to: +48713202152 Presentations The program will include main lectures (35 min + 5 min discussion), short lectures (15 min + 5 min discussion) and poster sessions. The official language of the conference is English. The full text of the selected presentations will be published in Separation Science and Technology.
