IZA Award
| The individual chosen for the IZA Award is being honored by the International Zeolite Association for long-term commitments and contributions to zeolite science. The recipient will serve as an ambassador for the IZA to the world zeolite community |
IZA Award Recipients: |
||
| 2007 | Giuseppe Bellussi, Italy for his seminal contribution to the development of zeolite science and use in industrial catalytic processes |
|
| 2004 | Paul Ratnasamy, India for his seminal contributions to invention and innovation in the field of catalysis by zeolites exemplified by the development of a process for producing alkylbenzenes. |
|
| 2001 | Lovat V.C. Rees, United Kingdom for his scientific contributions to the fields of ion exchange, Mössbauer spectroscopy and adsorption-diffusion, and for his dedicated promotion of zeolite science, in particular as editor of Zeolites and as organizer of the Chislehurst meetings. |
