Abstract
The North American Catalysis Society held its 16th meeting in Boston last month. Drawing attendees from 32 countries, the weeklong biannual meeting brought together some 800 scientists and engineers to discuss recent advances and achievements in the far-reaching field of catalysis. In addition to concentrated programming in environmental catalysis, at this year's get-together researchers presented papers on many topics, including heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, catalyst characterization, and selective oxidation. In all, some 500 presentations in lecture and poster formats provided an opportunity for investigators with a range of interests to mull over the latest news in catalysis research. Clarence D. Chang, winner of this year's Eugene J. Houdry Award in Applied Catalysis (sponsored by United Catalysis), reviewed the chemistry of the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process in one of the symposium's two plenary lectures. Chang, a senior scientist at Mobil's research facility in Paulsboro, N.J., recall...
