Micromeriticsrecently launched an Instrument Grant Program intended to provide particle characterization instruments to non-profit universities and research organizations for the purpose of fostering and supporting meritorious research projects. Many deserving applications have been received.
经过公司总裁成立的特别赠款选拔委员会的仔细考虑,已经选择了初始的微型授予奖项奖得主。Autochem II 2920催化剂特征系统已授予加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校化学学院的伯克利催化中心。
Alexander Katz, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Principal Investigator states, “The AutoChem II 2920 Chemisorption Analyzer with related components will be an integral and critical piece of characterization equipment within the UC Berkeley Catalysis Center. This instrument will be used to determine the concentration and acid/base characteristics of catalytic active sites on solids in a fashion that cannot be accomplished by other techniques. In particular, this will be used to investigate the chemisorption of H2, CO, CO2, and N2O,以及使用氢和烷烃作为还原剂的反应性化学吸收。”
Micromeritics总裁普雷斯顿·亨德里克斯(Preston Hendrix)表示:“该计划旨在促进和推进对粒子表征仪器的获取和使用,而不是通过其他手段向非营利性大学和机构提供的。我们很自豪和兴奋地在正在进行的赠款计划中颁发第一个奖项,以支持重要的研究。”
每个日历季度将最多授予一个仪器/集成系统。2007年的授予截止日期是:
1)申请截止日期12/31/06;在3/31/07之前授予决定
2)申请截止日期3/31/07;07年6月30日之前授予决定
