PREFACE
This volume contains the invited papers and communications presented at the Third
European Workshop Meeting "New Developments in Selective Oxidation", held in
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, April 8-10, 1991.
The First European Workshop Meeting took place in Louvain-la-Neuve in 1986
(Catalysis Today, Volume 1, Numbers 1 and 2, 1987). The First International
Conference on "New Developments in Selective Oxidation", held in Rimini, Italy,
September 18-22, 1989 (Studies in Surface Science and Catalysis, Volume 55, 1990)
constituted simultaneously the Second European Workshop.
The Third European Workshop was organised by the Unit6 (Laboratory) de Catalyse
et Chimie des MatCriaux DivisCs of the UniversitC Catholique de Louvain in Louvain-
la-Neuve, under the auspices of the National Science Foundation of Belgium
(FNRS-NFWO), the UniversitC Catholique de Louvain and the Commission of the
European Communities (Brite-Euram Programme, Directorate General for Science,
Research and Development). We acknowledge their support with gratitude.
It is also with pleasure that we thank the companies that contributed financially to the
organization of this meeting: ATO-CHEM, Paris (France), DOW Benelux N.V.,
Terneuzen (The Netherlands), DSM Research, Geleen (The Netherlands), REPSOL-
PETROLEO S.A., Madrid (Spain) and UNICAT, Brussels (Belgium).
The meeting was attended by over 150 researchers from 20 countries. About 50% of
the participants came from industrial companies. The programme of the meeting
consisted of three invited lectures, ten extended communications, 16 communications
and 13 posters. The organization of the topics in this volume is very similar to that in
Volume No. 55 of the same series. We hope that this will give the reader an idea of
current trends in the field of catalytic oxidation.
We owe much to the members of the Organizing Committee and the Scientific
Committee. Their help and advice were crucial for the realization of this meeting and
in enabling it to reach a high scientific level. We are very grateful to them for their
help. We also thank all the chairmen of the sessions for efficiently leading the
discussions. Our thanks further go to all the members of the "Unit6 de Catalyse et
Chimie des MatCriaux DivisCs" who worked very hard to ensure the success of this
meeting. Special thanks are addressed to Mrs. Nathalie Blangenois and Mrs. Marianne
Saenen.
