In an attempt to test the surface renewal theory of gas absorption, Danckwerts and Kennedy measured the transient rate of absorption of carbon dioxide into various solutions by means of a rotating drum which carried a film of liquid through the gas. Results so obtained were compared with those for absorption in a packed column and it was shown that exposure times of at least one second were required to give a strict comparison this was longer than could be obtained with the rotating drum. Roberts and Danckwerts therefore used a wetted-wall column to extend the times of contact up to 1.3 s. The column was carefully designed to eliminate entry and exit effects and the formation of ripples. The experimental results and conclusions are reported by Danckwerts, Kennedy, and Roberts110 who showed that they could be used, on the basis of the penetration theory model, to predict the performance of a packed column to within about 10 per cent.

Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy, Congress passes the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. It includes the Gun Control Act of 1968, which prohibits nearly all interstate gun sales, requires licensing of all gun dealers, and requires the recording of details about gun sales. 

Potash in Pumice. In 1798 Dr. Robert Kennedy of Edinburgh demonstrated the presence of potash in pumice. He noticed that the pumice fused to a glassy enamel. Although Klaproth had found only silica, alumina, and iron, and had failed to detect potash in the specimen he...
