Posted January 20, 2011 2:57 PM by Adam Dylewski

Imagine a day without cars, electric lights, TV, telephones, safe food, water, medicine, clothing, your house, and other things that make up modern life. Do it, and you are imagining a day without chemistry.

I hope you have enjoy the video...
I believe that worlrd is better with chemistry... but let´s go toward green chemistry!!!

CO2 could be used in 'green' plastic production

/By Ben Coxworth/

Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has certainly become an environmental concern in recent years, but researchers from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology are now experimenting with a process that uses CO2 to process plastic products in an environmentally-friendly fashion. They have discovered that by compressing the gas, it can be used to impregnate plastic objects with dyes, antibacterial compounds, or other substances. Traditionally, toxic solvents have been used for coloring plastic items.

11th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON DIOXIDE UTILIZATION

The 11th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CARBON DIOXIDE UTILIZATION will be held in the Université de Bourgogne, Dijon (France) - June 27-30.2011.


ICCDU XI will give emphasis on leading edge research from basic science to development relevant to the current issues of CO2 such as capture from emission sources, feedstock for the energy and chemicals sectors, and utilization in general.


The aim of the conference is to bring together the academic and industrial communities for crossfertilization of ideas and concepts to practical and profitable innovations.

HPLC 2011; 36th International Symposium on HPLC and Related Techniques

The International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques is an international forum for scientific discussion of the methods of high performance liquid chromatography in its various forms, along with the complementary separation techniques such as electrophoresis, electrochromatography, field-flow fractionation, supercritical fluid chromatography and hyphenated techniques, such as LC-MS and CZE-MS. The field of microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip is also included.

HPLC 2011 will be held in Budapest (Hungary) from 19th to 23th june 2011 in the  Budapest Congress & World Trade Centre.
