ABOUT THE COLLOQUIUM

Process Related Environmental Analytical Chemistry (PREACH) already developed to an analytical sub-discipline and arose from the need to balance the requirements of industrial production, economy, environmental risk assessment and careful use of resources. It is a challenge to analytical sciences to develop sensitive, reliable and payable methodology for the on-line and continuous monitoring of mass flows of a wide variety of substances at very differing concentration levels through the different compartments of industrial production and the environment receiving its discharges. Here at-line measurements in steel plants with respect to dust and toxic gases emission are as important as waste water monitoring and stack gas monitoring of waste incineration plants. Concentration levels ranging from ultra-traces to major components, the accessability and volume of the medium to be sampled and the fact that it can be gaseous, liquid or solid, as well as the time-resolution required necessitate a very wide variety of methods for the analytical tasks to be performed.

The demands of process related analytical chemistry may differ from those known from laboratory analytical chemistry with respect to several factors such as the needs to apply remote sampling and/or sensing and real-time response. This aspect of analytical chemistry opens the way from measurement of concentrations to quantification of mass fluxes. It is increasingly applied in industrial process analysis and should certainly enter other fields of human activities too. It should have a specially close relation to all efforts focused on protection of our environment.

The analytical technology required to enable international legislative action can only be developed by co-operation between the industry interested  in clean and cost-effective technologies, manufacturers of instrumentation and analytical control laboratories.

This Colloquium aims at bringing together the groups mentioned to foster developments in process related environmental analytical chemistry. The first Colloquium of this type was held in Gramado/RS, Brazil in May 1996, the second in Espoo, Finland in May 1998 and the organizers  felt encouraged to regularly schedule PREACH events in the future.

The preliminary program with the registration forms will be mailed in March 2000. To receive a copy, please send an e-mail with your name, institution, address, telephone, fax and e-mail, indicating if you are interested in the Colloquium, intend to submit an abstract, or are interested as an exhibitor.


COLLOQUIUM LOCATION

The colloquium will be held at the University of Leipzig in the “Experimentalhörsaal des Chemiegebäude”, Philipp-Rosenthal-Strabe/Johannisallee, located in the centre of the city of Leipzig.

Leipzig is one of the emerging trade and innovative industry centres in Saxony and houses one of the oldest Universities of Germany. The city offers cultural life through visits of museums, music performances and combines a scenic city centre with agreeable shopping and gastronomy facilities. The city is easily accessible by air through its own airport, train and motorway connections. Housing in hotels within walking distance from the colloquium site and the city is available in good quantity and quality. The venue will combine the features of university facilities with the vicinity to the city centre.


REGISTRATION FEES

The registration desk will be open from Wednesday evening until Sunday noon. All participants will be required to pay a registration fee that allows visitors  to attend all of the sessions, including the get together party, the conference dinner and lunches during the Conference. A book of Abstracts is also included that no funds will be available to defray travel or living expenses.
 

Participants     300 DM
