In the frame of 19th International Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry, Jackson Hole, U.S.A. one day symposium »Prof. Neil Bartlett Memorial Symposium: The realization of a Legacy to Inorganic Fluorine Chemistry« was organized. The organizers were: Prof. B. Žemva (IJS, Slovenia), IJS, Prof. G. J. Schrobilgen (MacMaster University, Canada) and Prof. A. Tressaud (CNRS, Bordeaux, France). Two members of the programme group (B. Žemva and M. Tramšek) were invited speakers on this symposium. Prof. Bartlett was strongly conected to the programme group at IJS for the last 35 years.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 22851879In the field of process safety we continued research on suitable methods for the risk assessment and with consultation services to the local process industry and competent national authorities. We reported on appropriate use of the methods for acute environmental health risk assessment in relationship with goals of the licensing procedure (issue of the criteria), and obtained an assessment on the state of compliance, performance and opinions on safety benefits among the operators of the industrial establishments subject of obligations from EU directive 96/82/EC (Seveso II).
F.04 Increase of the technological level
COBISS.SI-ID: 21934887For removal of toxic Hg from waste gases research efforts are focused on the development of mercury removal technologies:(i) the enhancement of homogeneous oxidation in the flue gases of Hg0 to water soluble Hg2+ or;(ii) the adsorption of Hg2+ and Hg0 on impregnated activated carbon. A third option is based on the oxidation and retention of dissolved Hg0 in the wet FGD system by non-selective and consequently costly chemical oxidants. We have developed catalytic oxidation of Hg by air in wet FGD, showing most important parameters that influence the Hg0 removal with high efficacy (over 90%).
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 23029799The process for the preparation of transition metals dichalcogenides and oxides of transition metals nanostructures from the precursor Mo6S2I8 is claimed. The potential use of claimed materials is for lubricants, for catalysts and in nanoelectronics.

COBISS.SI-ID: 21189927International Conference on Fluorine Chemistry 2009, Kyoto, Japan is organized each five years by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Last year two members of the programme group (T. Skapin and M. Tramšek) were invited speakers on this symposium. Their lectures were dealing with the research in the field of the preparation of fluorides with high surface area and in the field of the preparation of the coordination compounds with XeF2 and HnFn+1-.
