ISBN 981-238-349-2 Printed in Singapore Preface The Third Pacific Basin Conference on Adsorption Science and Technology was held fiom May 25 to May 29, 2003 in Kyongju, Korea. The theme for this conference was “thinking about adsorption at a splendid, enjoyable, and sound conference.” It was the first time that an international conference on adsorption was ever held in Korea. Since the previous conferences organized by Professor K. Kaneko (1997) and Professor D. D. Do (2000) were very successful, I was very excited as well as very nervous when I was asked to organize this conference for I wanted to make this one as successful as the previous ones. The main purpose of this conference was to encourage the development of new adsorption science and technology as well as to reflect the growth of this area. The conference covered a variety of adsorption-related fields from fundamentals to applications. The conference consisted of plenary and invited sessions, oral sessions and poster sessions. And the conference areas were as follows: Fundamentals of Adsorption and lon Exchange, New Materials, Adsorption Characterization, Novel Processes, Energy and Environmental Processes. I was very happy to see many contributions from 16 countries, with more than 120 papers. The plenary lectures of Professors D. D. Do (Univ. of Queensland, Australia), K. E. Gubbins (North Carolina State Univ., USA), K. Kaneko (Chiba Univ., Japan), M. Morbidelli (ETH Ziirich, Switzerland), A. L. Myers (Univ. of Pennsylvania, USA), D. M. Ruthven (Univ. of Maine, USA), R. Ryoo (KAIST, Korea), S. Sircar (Leigh Univ. USA), M. Suzuki (United Nations Univ., Japan), and R. T. Yang (Univ. of Michigan, USA) set the tone for the theme of the conference. Also, I would like to thank Professors G. Baron, A. Neimark, and L. Zhou for their contribution as invited speakers. Plenary speakers presented an in-depth overview of key research areas: Materials, Characterization, Molecular Simulations, Equilibria, Kinetics, and Processes. Furthermore, many contributed papers were of high standard. 1 hope that this conference was a worthwhile and memorable one for all the participants. I would like to thank all the participants for all the contributions to the conference. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the reviewers for their efforts to review papers within a very short period of time. Thanks should also go to the members of the organizing committee and secretary, the advisory and scientific committee and session chairs for their input and assistance. Also, special thanks goes to Professor J. Ritter (Univ. of South Carolina, USA) for the organization of the US side. And I would like to express my gratitude to Yeong-Joo Park, my wife, for all of her support and I thank my graduate students for all of their hard work to make this conference work. The conference would not have been possible without the generous financial support from many organizations such as the National Science Foundation, Yonsei University, Korean Institute of Chemical Engineers, KOSEF, KRF, Daesung Sanso Co., Research Institute of New Energy and Environmental Systems at Yonsei Univ., Yonsei Center for Clean Technology, Chonnam National University, Chungnam National University, NRL for Themophysical Properties, ERC for the Advanced Bioseparation Technology, NRL for Separation Process, NRL for Environmental Materials & Process.
