1. Introduction Supported by the Sino-German Center for Research Promotion, and organized jointly by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the German Research Foundation (DFG), the third Sino-German workshop on particle fluid systems was held on Oct. 24-31, 2004 in Beijing, China, following the two previous successful workshops held on Aug. 30-31,1999 in Hamburg, Germany (Li and Werther, Chem. Eng. Technol., 23(4), 378, 2000) and May 18-19, 2001 in Beijing, China (Li, Ge, Werther and Bruhns, Chem. Eng. Technol., 24(11), 1097, 2001). Thirty-one scientists from China, Germany, Japan and The Netherlands came together for interdisciplinary discussion over the core problem of multi-phase reaction systems in the name of "Chemical and Physical Interactions between Particles and Fluids".
