Final programme (30 July 2009)

SPECIAL ISSUE ! Journal of Applied Electrochemistry

Presentations

Electrokinetic transport processes are used in civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering to remove contaminants from soils and other porous materials, as well as for matrix repairing and maintenance purposes.

The restoration of polluted sites, the management and valorisation of industrial wastes, subsurface containment and remediation barriers like electrokinetic fences and biofences, the desalination of concrete are examples of their broad application.

EREM Symposiums started in Europe, in 1997, taking place every 2 years at different Universities and Research Centers: École des Mines d'Albi, (Albi, France, 1997); Technical University of Denmark (Lyngby, Denmark, 1999); Karlsruhe University (Karlsruhe, Germany, 2001); Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (Mol, Belgium, 2003); University of Ferrara (Ferrara, Italy, 2005); University of Vigo (Vigo, Spain, 2007).

In 2008, due to the growing world wide interest, EREM started to be hold out of Europe, in even years, and was organized by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, among others (Seoul, Korea).

We will do our best and count on you so that the next EREM 2009, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, will be another success. Do feel welcome!
