The Purpose of the Workshops

To hold a Solvent Extraction Workshop of "experts" in the areas of R&D, engineering and applications. Such a meeting of experts would:  

bullet 
Critically review the individual areas of concern in the consideration of solvent  extraction -- from R&D through to its industrial scale-up and to plant processing
bullet 
Provide a closer interaction between chemistry, engineering, process development, plant  design and construction than is possible in the usual, large international meetings
bullet 
Improve the communication between the R&D scientists and engineers and the engineering contractors to optimize the design of future solvent extraction  operations
bullet 
Transfer the conclusions of this meeting to ISEC conferences, thus providing some guidance to future R&D and plant design
bullet 
To provide a document for wide circulation amongst practitioners

The meetings should bring together the expertise in all phases of chemistry of the process, the chemical engineering expertise, process design and interface with chemistry and engineering, design and procurement engineers for scale-up to industrial plants, and the  plant operators with their problems and solutions.
