AOP-2010 intends to bring together chemists, physicists, biologists, environmental scientists and engineers to display their latest findings and to discuss potential avenues in both chemical and biological oxidative decomposition pathways of organic and inorganic contaminants. It also aims to coordinate discussions on both efficiency of various AOPs in the degradation of pollutants and the fundamental understanding of degradation mechanism. Chemical, photochemical, radiation chemical, sonochemical and biological oxidation mechanisms and the related technologies will be discussed.
Venue: School of Environmental Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam
The International Conference on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP-2010),
is organized by the Centre for Environment Education and Technology (CEET), Kottayam,
Kerala, India. (www.ceetindia.org ) in association with Advanced Centre for Environmental Studies And Sustainable Development (ACESSD) , Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India.
Kerala, the “God's own Country”, is a land of great natural beauty. From the majestic heights of the Western Ghats the country undulates westward presenting a vista of silent valleys clothed in the richest green.
With a coastline open to foreign influences, Kerala has evolved a unique culture with a long tradition of religious amity.
It is an educationally advanced state with its own language Malayalam, and has the highest rate of literacy among Indian states.
Art forms of Kerala range from Kalaripayattu, the martial art believed to be the origin of various other oriental ones, to Kathakali, one of the dance forms of Kerala considered to be the oldest Indian dance styles.
