Electrochemical processes represent a substantial part of chemical industry and consume about 7% of the industrial electricity use. They are of increasing importance with respect to environment protection, safety and energy technology. Apart from conventional units for the purification of raw materials and the separation of products, the electrochemical reactor itself is the most important part. Some of the general requirements of cell design are: simple modular design, applicability to high current densities, large specific electrode area, low ohmic losses, applicability to multiphase systems, reliable operation with low maintenance, and easy scale-up. The optimization of cell design in order to save energy while guaranteeing a high product quality is a continuous task. Therefore the Conference will focus on current trends in cell design and optimization procedures from both an industrial and academic point of view. The organising societies are glad to offer a European frame for this Conference since European integration will also be a challenge for the electrochemical industry. We hope that a fruitful exchange of experiences and ideas between users, manufacturers and scientists will be strongly promoted. The Conference will be jointly organised by: DECHEMA (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Chemisches Apparatewesen, Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V.), Frankfurt am Main, and the Society of Chemical Industry, Electrochemical Technology Group, London. Additional Information is available from: DECHEMA, Abt. Tagungen, Theodor-heuss-Allee 25, POB 97 01 46, D-6000 Frankfurt am Main 97, F.R.G, Telex: 412 490 dcha d, Telefax: (069) 7564-201, Phone: (069) 7564-280/241/242.
First Liquid Matter Conference Lyon, 7-11 July 1990
This is the first Conference on Liquid Matter promoted by the Liquids Section of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society. The aim of this Conference is to bring together, for the first time, liquid state physicists, chemists and liquid state chemical engineers. Microscopic, mesoscopic Elsevier Sequoia S.A.

and macroscopic aspects of this rapidly growing field will be the object of the Conference. The exchange with scientists working in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and oil industries will also be promoted. The programme will consist of plenary lectures and symposia. The themes of the symposia are: (1) Structure and dynamics of simple liquids (2) Structure and dynamics of solutions (3) Chemical processes in liquids (4) Supercooled liquids and glass transition (5) Conducting liquids and liquid semiconductors (6) Anisotropic liquids and liquid crystals (7) Polymer solutions, melts and polyelectrolytes (8) Amphiphilics, micelles and microemulsions (10) Liquids at interfaces and wetting (11) Flow and transport in porous media (12) Instabilities and turbulence (13) Selected topics in fluid mechanics Contributions to poster sessions are welcome but will be limited to one poster per participant. A small number of contributed papers will be selected by the Program Committee for oral presentation within the symposia. Authors wishing their papers to be considered for selection should mention this explicitely when submitting their papers. The abstract of each contributed paper to be presented at the Conference should be sent to the Conference Secretary, Dr. J.-Cl. Leicknam, not later than 11 June 1990. Abstracts received before this deadline will be included in the abstract booklet distributed to the Conference participants. Each abstract should be submitted in triplicate, typewritten on white, good quality paper, and should be ready for reproduction without being retyped. Instructions for drafting manuscripts are available from the Conference Secretary. Posters will be affixed on panels 80 cm wide and 120 cm high. The proceedings of the Conference will be published in a special issue of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. The proceedings will contain plenary and symposia lectures. The proceedings will be sent free of charge to the registered participants. For further information, please contact the Conference Secretary at the following address: Dr. J.-Cl. Leicknam, Physique Theorique des Liquides, Universite Pierre & Marie Curie, 4 Place Jussieu, Tour 16-5e &age, 75252 Paris Cedex 05, France, Fax: 43 25 30 08.
