Engineers and industrial research

The second International Workshop on Oxide-based Systems at the Crossroads of Chemistry was held at Villa Olmo in Como, October 8-11, 2000, in the framework of A. Volta Celebrations (1996-2000), under the auspices of the Universities of Insubria, Naples Federico II and Turin, Italian National Research Council (CNR) and Italian Zeolite Association. It was attended by nearly 100 scientists, engineers and industrial researchers coming from about 20 countries.

Government Grant Board. He received the Davy Medal of the Royal Society in 1948. For many years, he was a member of the select Royal Society Dining Club. Following the end of the 1939-1945 war, he continued his work for the Scientific Advisory Council of the Ministry of Supply, especially with the Chemical Engineering Committee. Fora period, he was a member of the Plants and Soils Committee of the Agricultural Research Council, and was a member of the Blackman Committee which reported on research and related matters for the natural-rubber industry. His work for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (D.S.I.R., later the Science Research Council) was of special importance here, he served on the Studentships Committee and as Chairman of the Chemistry Sub-Committee, and, during 1950-1955, he served as Chairman of the Chemistry Research Board. For several years, he acted as D.S.I.R. visitor to the Jute Industries Research Association, Dundee, and he was for a time a member of the Forest Products Research Board.

The removal of NO from the exhaust gases of vehicle engines and industrial boilers is an important environmental problem. Many researchers have focused on finding better catalysts than the present Pt-Rh or Pt-Pd-Rh three-way catalysts for efficient NO, abatement. For the Pt-Rh three-way catalysts, it was reported that Pt is the most active component for the oxidation of CO and hydrocarbons at low temperatures, whereas Rh is most active for NO reduction (335). A recent study with PtRh/NaY catalysts shows that alloy particles of PtRh2 in NaY are superior to either monometallic component in CO oxidation and NO-CO reaction (336). Besides the high cost of the extremely scarce element Rh for these catalysts, a major problem...
