Jack G. Saad Associate Scientist Jack G. Saad earned his ACS Certified BS Chem degree in chemistry from the University of Georgia. As an undergraduate, he worked with a variety of tungsten compounds to induce photo-initiated polymerization of cyanoacrylate using specific wavelengths of visible light, an application used in the adhesive industry. He began his…
Anthony W. Thornton Senior Product Scientist Director, Product Integrity and Performance Anthony W. Thornton received both his B.S. degree in Chemistry (cum laude) and his M.S. degree in Analytical Chemistry from Emory University in Atlanta, in 1980. Tony’s research at Emory involved liquid chromatography, specifically the use of ion-pair chromatography and isocratic separation of catecholamines…
Simon Yunes Senior Application Scientist Dr. Yunes received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from the Central University of Venezuela. He received both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physical Chemistry from Catholic University of Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium, with “La Plus Grande Distinction,” the highest honor to be granted by the University. His Ph.D. thesis was carried out…
Dr. Jacek Jagiello Senior Scientist Dr. Jacek Jagiello received his M.S. degree in chemistry from Jagiellonian University, in Krakow, Poland, with a specialty in Quantum Chemistry. He received his Doctorate in Chemistry at M. Curie-Sklodowska University, Lublin, Poland in 1984, studying the thermodynamics of physical adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces, under the supervision of Prof. W.…
Jeff Kenvin Group Leader, Scientific Services Group Dr. Kenvin received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia , Pa. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Ga. His areas of expertise are in the characterization of porous materials and catalysts using physical…
Material characteristics and solutions for characterization. Activated and porous carbons along with zeolites and molecular sieves largely owe their industrial value to the ability to control the rate of transport of different molecules. This characteristic gives rise to a broad range of applications in gas separation, catalysis, the selective adsorption of pollutants and ion exchange.…
Catalytic components and reactor configuration for increased selectivity and productivity. Increasing global CO2 levels have led to a thrust in research on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). In terms of volume, the contribution of CCU will be significantly less compared to CCS for avoiding CO2 emissions and achieving the…

In April 1993, Micromeritics introduced a software package called DFT V1.00. This program was the first commercial offering of a practical method to routinely analyze experimental adsorption isotherms using methods based on modern theoretical physical chemistry. It was the culmination of an investigation by James P. Olivier and William B. Conklin into a method by…
