Ipatieff, V.N. (1867-1952). Vladimir Nikolaevich Ipatieff, of Universal Oil Products Co and Northwestern University, was born in Moscow and attended military schools under the czarist regime. Ms work carried him to a high position in the Russian army and to recognition as one of the outstanding scientists of Russia...

One of them was well known to us the Willard Gibbs medalist, Vladimir Nicholaevich Ipatieff, who passed away in November, 1952. 

Catalytic polymerization is a leading process of the refining industry in the production of high-quality motor fuels and certain petrochemicals. The Solid Phosphoric Acid catalytic process was developed by Vladimir Ipatieff and has since been extensively modified and improved. By this method the catalyst is loaded in a chamber or placed in tubes and the heated charge is passed through it. The olefinic feed stock generally is diluted with low-olefin recycle. 

Vladimir Nikolaevich Ipatieff, one of the truly great men of chemistry and a pioneer in the field of catalysis, passed away on November 29, 1952. 

Tobin J. Marks is Vladimir N. Ipatieff and Charles E. Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. He received his B.S. degree In Chemistry from the University of Maryland In 1966 and his Ph.D. degree In Inorganic Chemistry from M.l.T. In 1970 under the direction of Professor... 

Vladimir Nicolaevitch Ipatieff was born into the minor Russian nobility in Moscow on Nov. 21, 1867. His father was an architect. 

At Northwestern, Ipatieff was an inspiring teacher (Figure 5). His first graduate student, Vladimir Haensel, invented the UOP platforming process. 

Fifteen years thereafter, the Ipatieff High-Pressure and Catalytic Laboratory of Northwestern University played host to a Centennial Celebration of Vladimir Nicolaevith Ipatieff. Catalytic experts from all over the world gathered for a week-long symposium in tribute to the father of modern petrochemistry. 

In the early 1950 s Herman Pines resigned from his full time position of Coordinator of Exploratory Research at Universal Oil Products to become a full time member of Northwestern s faculty. He was apointed Vladimir Ipatieff Research Professor and Director of the Ipatieff High Pressure and Catalytic Laboratory.

In 1940, UOP workers wrote an encyclopedic volume covering catalysis (28). Egloff was an active writer, and many of his articles were included. Most of these were reviews of the literature or promotional articles of benefit to U.O.P. processes. Professor Herman Pines, for years a coworker of Vladimir Ipatieff at UOP, the person responsible for the development of many of the U.O.P. polymerization and alkylation processes, admired Egloff To emphasize the extent of Egloffs writing. Pines stated that Egloff is probably the only person who has written more books than he has read. ...

W. A. Tilden obtained isoprene by the action of a very low red-heat on oil of turpentine and its isomers, but Harries and K. Gottlob found that the yield was poor. Harries and collaborators polymerised isoprene into 1 5-dimethylcyclooctadiene, CioHi, and by further polymerisation of this they obtained what they regarded as rubber. Isoprene had been synthesised independently by W. Euler in Leipzig and Vladimir Ipatieff in St. Petersburg. Although natural rubber certainly consists of isoprene units, many modern synthetic rubbers are really different materials, not derived from isoprene. 

Sabatier s catalytic hydrogenation technique, carried out with relatively simple apparatus, was applied to the preparation of a large number of organic compounds. He saw the technical importance of his work and took out several patents, but he did not extend the method to the liquid phase. This was first studied by Vladimir Nikolaevich Ipatieff (Moscow, 21 November 1867 (O.S.)-Chicago, 29 November 1952), and led to a revolution in the fat industry by the hydrogenation of oils with a nickel catalyst.
