A synopsis of the plenary presentations and breakout summary reports are provided in the following sections. Approximately fifteen attendees participated in each of the breakout sessions during the workshop. The breakout reports are not intended to represent a review of waste treatment science and technology, but to provide a snapshot of expert opinions of what the state-of-the-art is for interfacial water research and what critical technical gaps exist. While the workshop participants avoided any pretense of forecasting future waste treatment technologies, several promising materials and processing methods are indicated in the following discussion summaries. It will perhaps be up to individual researchers to develop these and other new ideas into reality to improve water treatment methods. One thing is almost certain: new water treatment technologies will only evolve from a fundamental understanding of the solid-water interface.
Although no specific references are presented in the breakout summary reports, the interested reader may want to consult the following review articles, which include additional background information on interfacial water properties, structure, and energetics, and which have extensive reference materials. | |
