    We invite you to join us at the 21st North American Catalysis Society Meeting to be held from June 7- 12, 2009, in San Francisco, California, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel located directly on the Embarcadero waterfront.  This meeting is a premier scientific event in the field of catalysis research and development. Technological challenges and state-of-the-art research will be presented and discussed.

    Scope

    Submission of papers dealing with original experimental and/or theoretical research on the topics listed below (or related topics) is encouraged.

    Catalysis for energy:
    Biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals
    Fossil energy conversion
    Upgrading of heavy hydrocarbon resources
    Heteroatom (S,N,O) removal from process streams
    Photochemical & electrochemical synthesis of fuels, hydrogen, or synthesis gas
    Hydrogen production and storage
    Synthesis gas production and conversion
    Electrocatalysis and fuel cells

    Catalysis for environmental protection:
    Photocatalytic pollution control
    Stationary source emission control
    Catalytic vehicle emission control
    CO2 sequestration and utilization

    Catalysis for the Synthesis of Chemicals:
    Acid-basecatalysis
    Homogeneouscatalysis
    Reactions insupercritical CO2, ionic liquids, and CO2-expanded solvents

    Fundamentals of catalysis:
    Analysis of dynamics and mechanisms of chemical reactions
    Materials with uniform structures, composition, or size
    Spectroscopy, microscopy, and catalysis
    Characterization of working catalysts
    Theory and computational catalysis
    Synthesis of active structures

    Chemical reaction engineering:
    Catalyst deactivation, regeneration, and recyclingNovel reactors and operating protocols
    Modeling and control of complex chemical reactions

    Scientific Program

    There will be four plenary lectures (including the Houdry, Emmett, and Boudart Award lectures, several keynote presentations, five parallel oral sessions, and three poster sessions.

    Exhibition

    An exhibition of the latest instruments, products, and services in the field of catalysis research and development will be held during the 21stNAM. Interested participants should consult the website for additional details.

    Abstract Submission

    All abstracts must be submitted through our website (http://www.21nam.org/).
     
    CPD course:
    Industrial Catalytic Processes

    The next ICP course will run on 10-14th November 2008. University of Bath, UK

    This course is designed for young chemists and chemical engineers who are beginning their careers in industry and academia (within first four years of career), or studying for a PhD.
