COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Dr. Rayford G. Anthony, the C.D. Holland Professor of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been designated to receive the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' 2004 Fuels and Petrochemicals Division Annual Award.
Anthony will be honored at the division's awards dinner April 26 at the AIChE Spring National Meeting in New Orleans. As the award's recipient, he will be the featured speaker at the awards dinner.
The AIChE Fuels and Petrochemicals Award recognizes individuals who have made substantial technological contributions to the advancement of the fuels and petrochemicals industries. Selection is based on a combination of technical achievement, management skills, business acumen, academic leadership and general service to the profession.
Anthony has extensive experience in developing catalysts and modeling catalytic reactors. His recent work has focused on synthesis and characterization of new crystalline titanates, zeolites and layered catalysts to use for oxidation, hydrogenation and hydrocracking reactions. He is co-inventor of a crystalline silico-titanate that removes cesium from radioactive liquid waste. This technology, which has been commercialized jointly by Sandia National Laboratories and UOP Company, won a 1996 R&D 100 award from R&D magazine as one of the year's 100 most technologically significant new products and processes.
Anthony joined the Texas A&M chemical engineering faculty as an assistant professor in 1966, attaining the rank of full professor in 1974. He was chemical engineering department head from 1995 until 2002. He has authored or co-authored more than 130 technical papers and is co-author of three textbooks, including Fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering (Prentice-Hall Inc.), now in its second edition.
Anthony earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Texas A&M and his doctorate from the University of Texas, all in chemical engineering. Elected an AIChE fellow in 1986, he has served the organization in numerous leadership positions since 1978. He is a registered professional engineer in Texas.
The AIChE, founded in 1908, is a professional association of more than 50,000 members that provides leadership in advancing the chemical engineering profession.
