Meeting at Harwell
102 production of synthesis gas from hydrocarbons and coal and examined the relative merits of producing methanol from natural gas or coal. Several papers described homogeneously catalysed processes for the conversion of syngas to chemicals such as acetic anhydride, vinyl acetate and ethylene glycol. The conference proceedings will be published in due course by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Meeting
at
Harweil
A Joint Meeting between the Harwell Catalyst Unit and the Surface Reactivity and Catalysis Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry, organised by Dr. J.A. Cairns, was held in the Cockcroft Hall, Harwell on 30th June 1982. It was opened by Dr. R.G. Sowden, Harwell’s Director of industrial Research. Its theme, “Preparation, Performance and Characterisation of Supports in Heterogeneous Cata I ys i s”, attracted over 100 delegates from Harwel I, the Universities and a wide spectrum of the catalyst industry.
CALENDAR
OF FORTHCOMING
Presentations were given by: J.A. Cairns (Harwel I) on “Oxide Supports and Monoliths”; R. Burch (Reading University) “Strong Meta I Support Interact ions”; N.D. Parkyns (British Gas) on “Co-Precip i tated Cata I ysts”; J.R. Fryer (Glasgow University) on “Graph it ic and Carbonaceous Supports” and by C.J. Wright (Harwe I I ) on “Crvsta I I oaraph ic Character isation of Co-Prkcipitaied’and other A particularly succesful Cata I ysts”. feature of the meeting was a poster session, to which 11 posters were subcovering various aspects of the mitted, general theme of the meeting including metal-support intergel precipitation, analytical examination of actions, supports by techniques including ion vehicle exhaust catalysis, beams, immobilisation of enzymes on supports, surface segregation effects, coherent Anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy of supported catalysts. The encouraging response to this meeting suggests that it could become a regular event.
