C Whitman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mitchell Moab pres- pres president dent of Uranium Reduction coni com company company pany upon receiving of the award stated We in are proud to have been cited for this outstanding outstanding ing chemical award ward i In the field of extractive metallurgy Considering Considering Con Con- that our plant has been in operation for less than one year the award is further proof of ol the contribution our organization tion has made in that field Mr and other officials are planning on attending attending attending attend attend- ing the award dinner to receive the Certificate te of Award In announcing the selections selection Sidney D. D Kirkpatrick editorial director of Chemical Engineering Engineer Engineer- ing magazine said saki that the recent rise of chemical metallurgy sparked by newer techniques for processing uranium and other Atomic Age metals promises greatly increased production of purer metals often from previously previously previously pre pre- un uneconomic sources The use of ion exchange solvent reaction reaction reaction re re- action chemical precipitation gas absorption etc has opened a half billion dollar market for chemicals and processing equipment equipment equipment equip equip- ment he said With this trend has also come many challenging opportunities for chemical engineers In research research re re- search development and application cation of old as well hell as newer technology Citations of the were somewhat arbitrarily limited to the newer Atomic Age metals uranium plutonium zirconium and hafnium tantalum and niobium nio nio- blues lithium boron thorium and the rare earth m me I tats Also included since they are primarily products of chemical chem chem- foal ical metallurgy as well as important Important important im im- I to the nuclear industry- industry are the three older metals alum aluminum mum um nickel and titanium |
