Findings of the Beijing 2000 IWA Chemical Industries Speciality Conference.
Critical Technologies to the World in the 21st Century: Pollution Control and Reclamation in Process Industries was a Chemical Industries Specialty Conference held in Beijing, China 18-22 September 2000. Set in China, the cradle of civilization, the conference hosted about 100 delegates from over twenty countries. Approximately 122 technical papers were presented covering a wide range of topic areas. This paper reviews significant findings presented. Perhaps the conference proceedings will serve as a point of reference for future evaluations and accomplishments. The 21st century offers both challenges and opportunities for progress towards sustainable development/production in the process industries. International cooperation and inter-disciplinary collaboration are essential for this goal to be realized.
