R&D Progress in Air Pollution Control Technologies in China (Featured talk)

For recent years, people in most northern and eastern parts of China have suffered from the heavily-polluted haze. Besides natural climate variations, emissions from transportation and industrial sources are the main contributors. In this presentation, current situation of industrial air pollution emissions in China will be summarized and applications of pollution control technologies will be critically reviewed with emphasis on the catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and potential opportunities for novel materials.
