There has been a significant growth in recent years in the field of             adsorption science and technology.  An increasing number of new                 adsorbents and adsorption processes are being developed and                     commercialized.  Japan has been very active in the field, and has some          unique developments which are only vaguely known to other countries             including the U.S.  An example for the unique Japanese developments is          the activated carbon membrane which has the high surface area like              activated carbon but shaped as hollow fibers.  This funding is                  provided as partial support for the American academic participants to           attend a tri-lateral workshop to discuss these developments.                                                                                                    An understanding of the developments in Japan and China will stimulate          further growth in the field in the U.S. and provide a better                    competitive edge for the U.S. in chemical and biochemical technologies          where separation/purification is a critical part.
