Key Information: The recipient must deliver a lecture at the annual ACS Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Separations Science and Technology Symposium.
The American Chemical Society (ACS) administers this award to recognize scientists and engineers who develop novel implementations of modern advances in separation science and technology. Its emphasis is on putting advances into practice, particularly through industrial applications, rather than recognizing work within a single discipline.
The award takes a broad view of separation science and technology, encompassing all fields in which it is practiced, including biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, and medicine. Established in 1982 by Rohm and Haas Co., it recognizes contributions to the field through a monetary award, a certificate, and a symposium lecture.
