Event

Papers may be submitted for both oral and poster presentations in any area of green chemistry or engineering research, education, or industrial case studies, such as greener solvents, catalysis, benign synthesis and processing, bio-based synthesis and processing, designing safer chemicals and materials, process design and measurement, and modeling/computational methods, and should be related to the following global challenges:

· Reduction of toxics in products and processes
· Climate change
· Water and resource depletion
· Energy
· Food

Presenters are requested to address the environmental, economic, and social benefits of the technology in their abstract and presentation. Abstracts must be submitted on a standard ACS Abstract Form, which is available on the Internet at http://chemistry.org/meetings/abstract/download.html
