Publishing WCPT5 Papers -- Status of 2007 July 24

A number of papers from WCPT5 have now been selected and reviewed, and we anticipate that they will be published within the calendar year 2007. If you were a presenter and have not heard from one of our team members that your paper has been selected for publication you are free to publish your work in whatever journal you feel appropriate.

The editors and editorial staff of the peer-reviewed journals Particle Technology, Granular Matter, Particulate Science and Technology, and ICHEM have been working closely with the authors and we owe a debt of thanks to them. Many other people have been helpful, and we would like to thank in particular Ugur Tuzun for his dedication to this task.

Thanks again to everyone who gave a presentation at the WCPT5. You all have contributed greatly to a very successful Congress.

       Kindest regards, George Klinzing

Special Editions of Advanced Powder Technology

Advanced Powder Technology   -- the international journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is published jointly with The Society of Powder Technology, Japan (SPTJ) [a Japanese language site]. The editor-in-Chief is K. Higashitani (Kyoto, Japan). Adv. Powder Techn. has published several papers from WCPT5 in its online edition Vol. 18(1) for February 2007. There is a fee to view each article.

Several other journals have shown interest in publishing individual papers from WCPT5 and requested that authors submit their papers directly to them:

  • International Journal of Bulk Solids Handling
  • Filtration
  • Journal of Nanoparticle Research
  • CEE (Chemical Engineering Education)
  • Particle and Particle Systems Characterization
  • Powder Technology

We Had a Very Successsful Congress!

The Fifth World Congress on Particle Technology was held on April 23 through 27, 2006, at the Dolphin Hotel in Lake Buena Vista (near Orlando), Florida, USA.

Over seven hundred registrants from around the globe listened to hundreds of oral presentations and discussed hundreds of posters with their authors.
General Schedule and Key Presenters

The AIChE produced Conference Proceedings on CD-ROM: one CD for the 2006 AIChE Spring National Meeting and one CD for the Fifth World Congress on Particle Technology. This double CD-ROM set includes 773 papers and abstracts in an easy-to-use, fully-searchable format using Adobe Acrobat® Reader and is Windows, Mac, and Unix compatible. This CD is abstracted by Chemical Abstract Services (CAS)
Description and Order Form for the CD set

During the four years leading up to the Congress the leadership team identified and recruited track chairs, plenary speakers, tutorial presenters, session chairs, and individual presenters for the technical sessions. They sent out flyers, wrote informative columns for technical journals, announced the Congress at technical meetings around the world, communicated via Email and phone with authors and chairs, and maintained a Web site to attract and inform participants.

The track chairs, session chairs, and authors communicated extensively to get abstracts and papers in on time and in the right format, to review and sort papers into the appropriate sessions, and to make both authors and audiences feel welcome and appreciated.
List of the Leadership Team

The AIChE staff provided the Web facilities that took in hundreds of abstracts and papers, allowed review by dozens of session and track chairs from around the world, and scheduled the presentations so as to minimize conflicts in author schedules. The AIChE staff also produced abstract books and CDs. These identified the World Congress as separate from several other conferences and the Spring AIChE meeting that were managed by the AIChE and held in the same hotel at the same time (co-located).

Contributions from our sponsors and many exhibitors allowed us to support several activities that made the Congress more enjoyable and informative.
List of Sponsors and Exhibitors

We thank all participants for their technical contributions and their good spirit in preparing for and attending the Congress.

What is the World Congress in Particle Technology?

Every four years members of the global particle technology community converge to share their latest insights and applications to industrial, academic, and civil problems. The meeting place cycles between three groups of continents.

The World Assembly of Particle Technology is responsible for scheduling and organizing these World Congresses. For further information, read about its
structure, officers, and schedule

What Happens at a Typical World Congress?
  • A Conference for Graduate Students may be held (separately) just prior to the Congress.

  • Plenary Speakers who explain recent advances in key technical areas.

  • Introductory Tutorials to review the basics of various areas within particle technology.

  • Major Technical Tracks each containing over a hundred oral and poster presentations on related topics.

  • A Technical Exposition to display the latest information and hardware resources for making, measuring, processing, and handling all types of particles.

  • Opportunities to Socialize An opening reception, a banquet, many coffee breaks, and perhaps an excursion provide many opportunities chat informally with your colleagues.

  • Tours of the Region may be available for you and your family to enjoy before or after the Congress.
