At the beginning of February 19-21, Chinese New Year, Biao Jiang, director of the organic institute as the Co-Chairs of Chemical Technology Select Committee of “Montreal Protocol" was commissioned by the United Nations Environment Program to organize annual meeting of "Montreal Protocol" for the Chemical Technology Assessment Committee of technical and economic assessment panel.　

The elections of Chemical Technology Assessment Committee come from all over the world. They summarized the progress and prospects on the "Montreal Protocol" ozone-depleting substances and arrange the resolution of matters of "Montreal Protocol" 19th Conference of the Parties. The meeting discussed the production, application and abandoned of carbon tetrachloride, the status that laboratory and analytical use of ozone-depleting substances; review the problem that bromopropane as chemical raw materials, solvents, cleaning agents may consumption the ozone layer.

In order to effectively protect the Earth's ozone layer, "Montreal Protocol" provides a variety of controlled ozone-depleting substances and the process of abandon, carbon tetrachloride (CTC) is a controlled substances in group 2 Annex B of the protocol to the provisions , the ODP (ozone depletion value) is 1.1.

China issued the "phase-out of ozone-depleting substances national programs" in 1999, requiring the CFC-ll, CFC-12 be gradually reduced its production and consumption since July 1, 1999. And safe completely stop the production and consumption of CTC from 2010. In order to achieve "the Montreal Convention", the request is that should "destroyed" methane chloride byproduct of 3-5 million tons of carbon tetrachloride each year in China enterprises from the source. Although China's current carbon tetrachloride as raw materials to produce fine chemicals in the consumption of less than 3000 tons of carbon tetrachloride, but eliminated the production of carbon tetrachloride or very urgent task. Therefore, carbon tetrachloride into a variety of bulk chemicals, fine chemicals and new technologies, is the chemistry and chemical engineering research and production enterprises, the urgency of the task.

During the meeting the members of the Committee visited the organic institute. They appreciated the clean research environment and results. The Commission also appreciate organic institute for providing the excellent service for this conference.
