This international conference will feature contributions from both industry and academia, covering PI in agriculture, biotechnology, chemical technology, energy conversion and environmental processes, either as a single intensified process or as an integrated process intensification applied to industrial production.
International Workshop on Process Intensification (IWPI) 2016 will create a multi-disciplinary environment for the advancement of the PI-technology. This is an ideal event for anyone who is active in PI at all levels.
The 4th Winter Process Conference will consist of presentations from international chemists covering all aspects of Process Development.
The speakers will discuss the latest issues in synthetic route design, development and optimisation, reactor design, work up and purification, crystallisation, polymorphism, catalysis, and quality and regulatory issues. The presentations will be from either speakers within the chemical industry or academics with a strong link to industrial process development, so the material presented will be of particular relevance to all chemists and biochemists in industry, as well as graduate students considering a career in industry.
Hosted by ‘EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC)’ at The University of Strathclyde.

Scientists from Germany have developed a quick and low-cost screening method for photocatalytic reactions based on a simple change of colour.
In a recent study in Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, Burkhard König and a colleague from the University of Regensburg have developed a simple colorimetric method to analyse the outcome of photocatalytic reactions. An organic dye changes colour if a reaction works and can even indicate how much of the starting materials has been consumed.

11th international Congress on Catalysis and Fine Chemicals (CAFC-11)
5th – 8th September 2016
Lyon, France
The aim is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry working in this area to share their expertise as a way to open new collaborations helping to solve forthcoming problems in the chemical industry. Today’s research in the field of Applied Catalysis must also involve eco-efficient methodologies that could be addressed by chemical engineering (multicomponent reactions, multiphase or flow reactors, multifunctional reactors…) as well as implementing more sustainable synthetic methods for fine chemistry based on catalytic transformation of bio-based substances.
