PROVISIONAL programmes of the business which will be discussed by the twelve sections of the Chemical Engineering Congress of the World Power Conference in June next have just been published. The Congress will meet at the Central Hall, Westminster, on June 22-27; with it will be associated visits to works and opportunities for social intercourse in the form of receptions and a banquet. During the course of the Congress, the British Chemical Plant Manufacturers' Association will hold its periodical exhibition of British chemical plant at the Central Hall. The several sections of the Congress are concerned with various phases of chemical engineering, as follows: (a) ferrous metals in chemical plant construction; (b) refractories, rubber, plastics, and other materials in chemical plant construction; (c) separation; (d) size reduction, grading and mixing; electrolysis, etc.; (e) destructive distillation; (/) treatment and disposal of effluents and waste materials; lubrication; (g) high-pressure reactions and high vacua; (h) heat exchange; (j) education and training; (k) statistics; administration; safety and welfare; (I) trend of development; (m) general aspects.
