Participants from industry are welcome. Rome, Italy, 20-23 March, 2016 IN COLLABORATION WITH w w w . a i d i c . i t / n i n e ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The conference aims at presenting recent scientific and technical advances in the field of the application of nanotechnologies to environmental protection, including characterization, monitoring, remediation of contaminated sites, and treatment of water, wastewater and residues. The Conference, that will be held in Rome, Italy, on 20‐23 March 2016, is organized by the Italian Association of Chemical Engineering (AIDIC) in collaboration with the Department of Chemical Materials Environmental Engineering (DICMA) of “Sapienza”, University of Rome. ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION PUBLICATION The official language of the Conference is English. Authors wishing to present a contribution are asked to prepare maximum one page abstract to be submitted ONLY by web‐ page to the Conference Secretariat http://www.aidic.it/nine The deadline is 30 August 2015 The abstract must indicate the complete addresses and e‐mail of each author. Authors are also required to indicate the topic to which the abstract belongs. The full set of accepted papers (in the form of short papers of maximum 6 pages) will be published in a Volume of Chemical Engineering Transactions. The quality of this publication is valued by ISBN & ISSN numbers, reference by SCOPUS and THOMSON REUTERS (ISI Web of Knowledge, conference proceedings) citation indexes. In addition each paper will be available online thanks to the DOI identification. Each paper in the Volume is covered by a copyright assigned to AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. Each paper will be evaluated for acceptance by at least two Peer Reviewers. VENUE NINE welcomes the contribution of researchers and engineers from universities and institutions as well as stakeholders from industry, to present recent advances and new approaches on the application of nanotechnologies for the environment.
