The Society of Chemical Industry in

On December 14, 1977, Trevor Kletz, who was at that time safety advisor for the ICI Petrochemicals Division, presented the annual Jubilee Lecture to the Society of Chemical Industry in Widnes, England. His topic was What you don t have, can t leak, and this lecture was the first clear and concise discussion of the concept of inherently safer chemical processes and plants.

Reviews. Since 1917, a review chapter on fibers, textiles, and cellulose has been included by the Society of Chemical Industry in its annual Reports on the Progress of Applied Chemistry (81). 

It is interesting to note that although the three pre-existing organizations amalgamated their activities into the new Institute, the Society of Chemical Industry in Canada coalesced to form one Canadian Section, in order to maintain and continue its awards program. This it has continued to do to this day. 

Gerhard Kreysa was bom in 1945 in Dresden. He studied chemistry at the University of Dresden and received his Ph.D. in 1970. In 1973, he joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of DECHEMA in Frankfurt am Main. He developed new concepts for the utilization of three-dimensional electrodes, which became prominent for electrochemical waste water treatment in the process industry. He also played a leading role in the clarification of the "cold fusion" affaire in 1989. In 1985, he was appointed as professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Dortmund. In 1993, he was appointed as honorary professor at the University of Regensburg. From 1985 to 1995, he served as executive editorial board member of the Journal of Applied Electrochemistry. He was a recipient of the Chemviron Award in 1980, the Max-Buchner-Research-Award of DECHEMA and the Castner Medal of the Society of Chemical Industry in 1994, and the Wilhelm Ostwald Medal of the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig in 2006.
