Dear colleagues, it is our pleasure to announce the 1st International Symposium on Mesoporous Zeolites (ISMZ) to be held in the 246th ACS National Meeting & Exposition, September 8–12, 2013, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
The symposium is intended for building a community for the scientists and engineers involved in research, development, and utilization of mesoporous zeolites, hierarchical zeolites, nano-zeolites, etc., from both academia and industries, to promote open sharing internally and externally with the broader scientific community. The two-day program (exact date to be determined) will be hosted within the seminar sessions of the Division of Energy and Fuels, which includes oral presentations (30–40 min for keynote speakers and 20–30 min for the rest) on any or all of the area involving the preparation, characterization, and applications of such materials.
Abstract submission will be open between Feb. 1- Apr. 1, 2013 through abstracts.acs.org. Instructions on how to submit abstracts can be found here and the pre-print template here. Travel and accommodation information is available at www.acs.org.
If you have any question, please contact the symposium organizers: ISMZ-Online, Prof. Javier Garcia-Martinez, or Dr. Kunhao (Eric) Li. We sincerely welcome you and look forward to meeting you this Fall.

Program Theme: Chemistry and Stewardship of the World
On behalf of the local organizing committee and the International Advisory Board (IAB), we would like to invite you to the 8th International Conference on Environmental Catalysis (ICEC). The ICEC returns to U.S. soil for the first time since 1998. As the 3.5 day event will be held August 24–27, 2014 at the Historic Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa in beautiful and scenic Asheville, North Carolina. Current technological challenges in environmental catalysis will be presented in 2 plenary presentations, 3 parallel oral session and 2 poster sessions.
The Scientific Programme of ICEC 2014 will be organized around following main topics:
Sustainable and clean energy production
- Bio-fuel catalysis
- Fuel cells, electrolyzers and solar fuels
- Fuel reforming
- Catalytic combustion
Emission Control
- Mobile and Stationary source emissions
- TWC, Lean de-NOx, and de-Soot
- Low temperature exhaust applications
Indoor air cleaning
- VOCs, PAH, adsorption
Water Treatment
