News from the Zeolite
2010 Congress
in Sofia, Bulgaria (11-18 July 2010) |
| |
|
This meeting of the International Natural
Zeolite Association was organized by Ognyan Petrov of the Central Laboratory
of Mineralogy and Crystallography of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
and was attended by about 120 researchers from 30 different countries. The
field trip in Eastern Rhodopes covered the best natural zeolite deposits
in Bulgaria and included the recently discovered Thracian holy city
and Byzantine fortress Perpericon built within zeolitized rock. |

Imre Kiricsi (1948-2010) |
| |
It is with great
sadness that we must report that Prof. Imre Kiricsi, organizer of
the First International Conference of the Federation of European
Zeolite Associations (FEZA) in Eger, Hungary in 1999 and one of the
members of the FEZA Council, passed away on July 11, 2010.
Prof. Kiricsi initiated the foundation
of the Hungarian Zeolite Association in 1992, and had been its president
since 1998. During this time, the HZA organized several international
meetings and Prof. Kiricsi served as the co-editor of the resulting
proceedings. He was the Director of the Applied Chemistry Department
at Szeged Univeristy Attila Jósef and the recipient of a number
of prizes, including the Gold Cross of Merit of the Hungarian Republic
in 2006 and the Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Prize in 2010. Some more details
on his scientific achievements have been compiled by his colleague
Janos Nagy and can be found here.
