The first International Solvent Extraction Conference (ISEC) was held in 1971 in The Hague, Netherlands and was organised by the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) in collaboration with the Koninklijk Instituut van Ingenieurs (Netherlands), the Institution of Chemical Engineers (UK) and the European Federation of Chemical Engineering. The theme of the meeting was "Science and Technology of Solvent Extraction as Applied to all Branches of Industry" which has since that time defined the scope of ISEC meetings, covering both the science and enineering aspects of this technology.
The ICSE agreed that the conference would be regarded as a major, worldwide solvent extraction event, to be held every three years. In order to allow sufficient time for proper coordination, a lead time of six years -i.e. two ISECs- was agreed for the appointment of each conference organiser. Bids from interested organisations are welcome by the ICSE and discussed during meetings held at each ISEC event. Decisions are based on the quality of proposals and the country of origin. It was convened that for the benefit of the international extraction community these meetings would be distributed around the world.
