The 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Ionic Liquids and Green Processes
On September 17-19, 2012, the 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Ionic Liquids and Green Processes (APCIL'12) was successfully held in Beijing. Professor Suojiang Zhang presided over the opening ceremony and delivered a welcome speech.
The theme of the conference was "Ionic Liquids - Low Carbon and Sustainable Development". About 400 experts, scholars and graduate students from 20 countries and regions including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia attended the meeting. Professor Robin D. Rogers of the University of Alabama, Professor Douglas Macfarlane of Monash University, Professor Joan F. Brennecke of the University of Notre Dame, Professor Wenchuan Wang of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Professor Youquan Deng of Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Professor Han Buxing of the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made keynote lecture of the conference. Participants discussed in depth the key scientific issues such as physical properties and simulation of ionic liquids, synthesis of new materials, separation and mass transfer processes, electrochemical energy applications, sustainable development and environmental protection technologies, and industrial application processes.
As a new generation of functional materials and media, ionic liquids have become a hotspot in foreign research, and have broad application prospects in the fields of energy, resources, environment, materials, life sciences, electrochemistry, nanotechnology, and aerospace technology. This conference provides a platform for exchanges and learning for researchers in the field of ionic liquids in the Asia-Pacific region. It is of great significance for promoting major basic scientific issues and engineering innovations of ionic liquids.
