Emerging environmental technologies: Innovative chemistry-based concepts (ENVR)
Increasingly, state of the art innovations in chemistry have found rapid application in many areas, including environmental clean-up. Examples of such emerging technologies include nanotechnology, use of novel compounds, phase transition enhanced removal processes, etc. Chemical processes in surface wetland treatment systems, phytoremediation systems (e.g., hyperaccumulators), permeable reactive barriers and other emerging deployment options are also important to the success of such new technology. Innovation in chemistry has led to a diversity of emerging environmental applications – the objective of this session is to explore that diversity and stimulate future creativity and collaboration.
