IEX 2008
July 9-11, 2008
Cambridge, UK

This is the latest in a series of ion exchange conferences organised by the SCI that started in 1954. The conference will be held in Fitzwilliam College Cambridge and will feature sessions on a wide range of topics with particular emphasis on those areas perceived there is the greatest future need such as potable water treatment; production and purification of products from bio-sources; requirements of power generation plant.

An addition feature of this meeting will be an intensive technical training course in ion exchange water treatment. This will precede the conference on 6-8th July and will be linked to the conference by a special session on industrial case studies in water treatment on 9th July. The decision to hold such a course is a response to the major structural changes in industries over the past two decades that has led to a gradual loss of in-house skills and training facilities in this area. The full programmes and registration flyers are now available and can be downloaded on www.soci.org/iex2008. Please email conferences@soci.org for further information.

The first circular and call for papers has been distributed and is available from the Ms Jacqui Maguire (jacqui.macguire@soci.org) or via the SCI website (www.soci.org/)
