Preface The contents of this book are based loosely on presentations at a special sympo- sium, “Application of Interface Science to Environmental Pollution Control,” held as part of the ACS National Meeting in Chicago, August 26–30, 2001. This symposium offered an opportunity for researchers from a range of disciplines to discuss the role of interface science in environmental remediation. The develop- ment of an archival book based on this meeting is a timely contribution to a burgeoning area of research that is now attracting the attention of a diverse re- search community. The topics covered include fundamental studies of general interest and/or overviews of strategies for pollution abatement—in short, any research that can lead to improvements in or protection of the quality of our air, water, and land. The content is broad and encompasses subjects ranging from physical separa- tions (e.g., adsorption, absorption, and ion exchange) to chemical reactions (e.g., catalytic oxidation and reduction, photocatalysis, and sensing). The book is struc- tured to focus on the relevance of interface science to four topics critical to any study of environmental remediation: (1) NOx/SOx abatement, (2) water treat- ment, (3) application of catalysis to organic pollutant remediation, (4) waste minimization/recycle. Each contribution has either a theoretical significance or practical utility or both. Interfacial Applications in Environmental Engineer- ing is an invaluable resource for chemists, chemical engineers, environmental scientists/engineers, environmental regulators, and the industrial sector. More- over, it can serve as a comprehensive reference source to supplement educational coursework and both fundamental and applied research. TM Copyright n 2003 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. All Rights Reserved. iv Preface The contributions to this book come from a combination of scientists and engineers based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, China, Japan, and Argentina. They serve to illustrate the global importance of interfacial science as applied to environmental protection. I must express my gratitude to all the authors, who have contributed their time and effort and willing- ness to share their research results in this collaborative effort. Special thanks go to Dr. Arthur Hubbard for his unswerving encouragement in getting this book project off the ground and his insightful advice in seeing it develop into an archi- val contribution to our understanding of what is and will undoubtedly continue to be an important dimension to the study of interface science.
