Preface
The Third Pacific Basin Conference on Adsorption Science and Technology was held
fiom May 25 to May 29, 2003 in Kyongju, Korea. The theme for this conference was
“thinking about adsorption at a splendid, enjoyable, and sound conference.”
It was the first time that an international conference on adsorption was ever held in
Korea. Since the previous conferences organized by Professor K. Kaneko (1997) and
Professor D. D. Do (2000) were very successful, I was very excited as well as very
nervous when I was asked to organize this conference for I wanted to make this one as
successful as the previous ones.
The main purpose of this conference was to encourage the development of new
adsorption science and technology as well as to reflect the growth of this area. The
conference covered a variety of adsorption-related fields from fundamentals to
applications. The conference consisted of plenary and invited sessions, oral sessions and
poster sessions. And the conference areas were as follows: Fundamentals of Adsorption
and lon Exchange, New Materials, Adsorption Characterization, Novel Processes, Energy
and Environmental Processes.
I was very happy to see many contributions from 16 countries, with more than 120
papers. The plenary lectures of Professors D. D. Do (Univ. of Queensland, Australia), K.
E. Gubbins (North Carolina State Univ., USA), K. Kaneko (Chiba Univ., Japan), M.
Morbidelli (ETH Ziirich, Switzerland), A. L. Myers (Univ. of Pennsylvania, USA), D. M.
Ruthven (Univ. of Maine, USA), R. Ryoo (KAIST, Korea), S. Sircar (Leigh Univ. USA),
M. Suzuki (United Nations Univ., Japan), and R. T. Yang (Univ. of Michigan, USA) set
the tone for the theme of the conference. Also, I would like to thank Professors G. Baron,
A. Neimark, and L. Zhou for their contribution as invited speakers. Plenary speakers
presented an in-depth overview of key research areas: Materials, Characterization,
Molecular Simulations, Equilibria, Kinetics, and Processes. Furthermore, many
contributed papers were of high standard. 1 hope that this conference was a worthwhile
and memorable one for all the participants.
I would like to thank all the participants for all the contributions to the conference. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all the reviewers for their efforts to review
papers within a very short period of time. Thanks should also go to the members of the
organizing committee and secretary, the advisory and scientific committee and session
chairs for their input and assistance. Also, special thanks goes to Professor J. Ritter (Univ.
of South Carolina, USA) for the organization of the US side. And I would like to express
my gratitude to Yeong-Joo Park, my wife, for all of her support and I thank my graduate
students for all of their hard work to make this conference work.
The conference would not have been possible without the generous financial support
from many organizations such as the National Science Foundation, Yonsei University,
Korean Institute of Chemical Engineers, KOSEF, KRF, Daesung Sanso Co., Research
Institute of New Energy and Environmental Systems at Yonsei Univ., Yonsei Center for
Clean Technology, Chonnam National University, Chungnam National University, NRL
for Themophysical Properties, ERC for the Advanced Bioseparation Technology, NRL
for Separation Process, NRL for Environmental Materials & Process.
