INTERNATIONAL CATALYSIS AWARD 1998

The International Catalysis Award is sponsored by the Interna-tional Association of Catalysis Societies. It is awarded once every four years between two International Congresses on Catalysis. It con-sists of a document and a financial reward which will be presented to the recipient during the 12th International Congress on Catalysis in 2000 to be held in Grenada, Spain. The financial remuneration shall be equal to ten times the registration fee of the 12th ICC. The purpose of this award is to recognize and encourage individual contribution by a young person in the field of catalysis, such as discovery or sig-nificant improvement of a catalytic process, or a significant contribu-tion to the understanding of catalytic phenomena. Selection of the re-cipient will be made by the International Committee appointed by the President of the International Association of Catalysis Societies. Se-lection will be made without regard to nationality or affiliation. The recipient must not have passed his/her 45th birthday by A pril, 1998. Posthumous awards will be made only when knowledge of the win-ner's death is received after the announcement of the Committee's decision.

Nominations for the award 1998 should be made before Sept.1, 1997 and should include a critical evaluation of the significance of the nominee's published work, as well as a statement about the particular contribution on which the nomination is based. Nominations should also include the nominee's qualification, accomplishment and biogra-phy. Nomination documents, along with no more than two letters of support, should be submitted in six copies to the President of the In-ternational Association of Catalysis S ocieties (Helmut Knozinger, In-stitut fur Physikalische Chemie der Universitat Munchen, Sophien-strasse 11, D-80333, Munchen 2, Germany). The recipient will be re-quired to give a lecture on his/her research as part of the 12th Interna-tional Congress on Catalysis in 2000.

Prof. ENRIQUE IGLESIA is the recipient of the 1997 Paul H.Emmett Award of the North American Catalysis Society for his significant contributions to the fundamentals of catalysis, as well as to the development of catalysis for industrial application. Prof. Iglesia received his doctoral degree from Stanford in 1981 and then joined the Corporate Research Laboratories at Exxon, where he quickly rose from the position of Research Associate to that of Manager for Ca-talysis Research. In 1993, he decided to leave Exxon and join the De-partment of Chemical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. His progress in establishing a group at Berkeley has been highly impressive. In three years he has acquired eight doctoral stu-dents and two postdoctoral fellows, and has initiated research in seven different areas.

His research both at Exxon and at Berkeley has focused on the design of catalytic solids using a combination of novel inorganic syn-thesis methods, in situ spectroscopic techniques, mechanistic studies of reactive intermediates, and fundamental models of site and pellet structure and function. A key objective of most of his work has been to use fundamental knowledge to guide the development of catalysts and catalytic processes for environmental control through pollution prevention and abatement. In these ar eas, his studies have addressed the efficient use of methane and light hydrocarbons, the synthesis of fuel components and petrochemicals from synthesis gas, and the dis-covery of safer and more selective chemical processes, such as those that employ solid acid materials to replace sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and halogen-containing compounds. His research also aims to improve oxidation processes required in low-temperature catalytic combustion and in the oxidative removal of volatile organic compounds.

Dr. JOHN N. ARMOR of Air Products and Chemical, Inc. is the recipient of the 1997 Eugene J. Houdry Award in Applied Cataly-sis of The North America Catalysis Society in recognition of his con-tributions in the field of catalysis with emphasis on the development of new and improved catalysts and processes. Dr. Armor received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1970 and then became Assistant Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in Boston University doing research in ligand, photo and solar energy chemistry. In 1974 he took an in-dustrial position with Allied Corporation where he was group leader responsible for programs in homogeneous and heterogeneous cataly-sis and in addition led a major effort in High Technology Ceramics. In 1985 he accepted a position at Air Products and was soon pro-moted to his present position of Principal Research Associate with re-sponsibility for supervising a number of catalysis projects including synthesis of specialty chemicals, research for operating groups (dehydrogenation CO2, polymers, hydrogenation, waste water cleanup, NOx/N2O removal), gas separations, surface science, and in-organic coatings.

FIRST DegOXы UNIT DELIVERED TO CUSTOMER

The first DegOXы Caro's acid generator was delivered to and successfully started at a gold company in Nevada. The customer will use the DegOXы unit for the detoxification of cyanide-containing wastewater. This represents a cost effective alternative to other cya-nide detoxification in the mining industry. Besides the application in the mining industry, the unit can also be used in the pulp and paper industry to enhance delignification.

The DegOXы Caro's acid generator is supplied to the customer as a pre-fabricated system to reduce installation time and cost. This allows the unit to be tested prior to shipment, thus ensuring that the process will operate properly once installed.

Caro's acid manufactured by reacting sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The reaction of the two components has been well known for many years, but Degussa has found a way to maximize the yield of Caro's acid in a continuous process. The outstanding feature of Degussa's patented process is its exceptionally high yield of a cold Caro's acid product. The trademarked unit, DegOXы, was jointly developed by the combined efforts of Degussa's Allendale, NJ, Ap-plied Technology Center and the Technical Services Engineering De-partment in Mobile, AL.
