Name of Student: Tran Thi Hien Exchange Program: EXCEED Sending Institution: Department of Environmental Chemistry- Hanoi University of Science Country: Viet Nam 4. Special Skills 5. Motivation for participating at the EXCEED program Please briefly state the reasons why you wish to participate at this program: During the time of doing my master thesis "Preparation of adsorptive material from pyrolusite ore (Tra Linh, Cao Bang, Viet Nam) for heavy metals and arsenic treatment in supplied water", I got acquainted with a heavy metal treatment method using a kind of ore which distributes porpularly in Viet Nam. I also had an opportunity to create and investigate the adsorption capacity of this material. Since then, I have shown my deep interest in using different materials for heavy metals removal. On the other hand, In Vietnam, Agricultural production gained an advantage over than others resulting in a great amount of agricultural byproducts generated. Hence, It really inspired me to participate in international research team which will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Erol Pehlivan in the research field "Production of Biosorbents from Agricultural byproduct and their Adsorption characteristics for Metal ions". I would like to make an effort to utilize our agrowaste materials for heavy metal removal. From here only to be filled out by Applicants who do not apply for Summerschool 6.

Tran Hong Con, Position or Title: Head of Department of Chemical Technology, Hanoi University of Science Phone Number: 84-4-38245527 / 84.989092396 (Country code/area code/phone number) E-mail: con.tranhong@gmail.com School: Hanoi University of Science, Faculty of Chemistry, Hanoi University of Science Address: No. 19, Le Thanh Tong Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, Vietnam. Fax Number: 84-4-38241140 Phone Number: 84-4-38253503 (Country code/area code/phone number) Dear Sirs/Madams As a professor Dr. and Head of Department of Chemical Technology, Hanoi University of Science, It s my pleasure to endorse Ms. Tran Thi Hien s application to international research team in the winter term 2010/2011 at Technical University Braunschweig. Her exceptional academic proficiency and penchant for research could make her a truly outstanding candidate for your work. I have known Ms. Hien for two years, as her professor in her master course on Waste Management and Contaminated Site Treatment- The Cooperation between Hanoi University of Science, Vietnam and Technical University of Dresden, Germany. Especially, I understand her more clearly when being her direct supervisor for her master thesis. At that time, I found a ceaselessly inquiring mind in her own person resulting in her success in doing thesis Preparation of adsorptive material from pyrolusite ore (Tra Linh, Cao Bang, Vietnam) for heavy metals and arsenic treatment in supplied water. She showed a deep interest in using different materials for heavy metal treatment to decrease water pollution. I highly appreciate Hien s passion for research when she attended our Department as a research assistant after graduation. In fact, some people regarded her as taciturn until they saw her joy and enthusiasm for working with others in academic discussions and experiments. She has also no trouble interacting with others. As proven from her work, she is well-organized and good at assigning tasks in her team to get things done efficiently. I strongly believe that Tran Thi Hien can successfully accomplish her study and then become a leading researcher and a positive member in sustainable network within the Exceed community after returning to my university. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information about Tran Thi Hien. Yours sincerely Professor Dr. Tran Hong Con
