Proposals
for the organization of the 20th International Zeolite Conference |
|
|
| |
|
The
IZA Executive Council is soliciting proposals for organizing the 20th
IZC to be held in 2022. A proposal should contain sufficient detail,
including the specific proposed conference location, to permit a
reasonable evaluation of its merits, and must contain the name of a
person who agrees to become the Conference Organizer, if the proposal
would be selected by the Membership. The time schedule for this process
is shown schematically below.

A:
Those who plan to submit a bid for the 20th IZC should submit a letter
of intent to the IZA President (giuseppe.bellussi@eni.com) or to the
IZA Secretary (jihong@jlu.edu.cn) at least six months before the 18th
IZC. It should contain the name of the Chairman of the Organizing
Committee and the envisaged venue and date for the 20th IZC. Upon
receipt of the letter of intent, the Secretary shall send the detailed
questionnaire "Proposal for the Organization of the 20th IZC to be held
in 2022 to the applicant.
B: This questionnaire, properly filled in
and signed, must be received by the President or Secretary at least
four months before the 18th IZC. All bids received by this date are

First
Cronstedt Award to Valentin Valtchev and Svetlana Mintova |
|
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
The FEZA (Fedration of European Zeolite
Associations) has awarded
the first Cronstedt Award
for contributions to science and technology related to zeolites,
ordered mesoporous materials, metal organic frameworks or other porous
materials to
Valentin
Valtchev and Svetlana Mintova (CNRS, Caen, France)
for
their fundamental studies on zeolite nucleation in organic-free
hydrogels, that brought the current state of the art to the level of
rational design of zeolite crystals and synthesis of high quality
nanosized zeolites.
Congratulations!

Avelino Corma Canós, Mark E. Davis and Galen D.
Stucky receive
the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research 2014 |
|
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
At
its meeting in Oviedo, the Jury for the 2014 Prince of Asturias Award
for Technical and Scientific Research decided to bestow the 2014 Award
on the chemist Avelino Corma Canós (Spain), the chemical engineer Mark
E. Davis (USA) and the physical chemist Galen D. Stucky (USA) for their
contributions to the development of microporous and mesoporous
materials and their applications.
The three researchers have made truly
remarkable contributions to the design and methods of synthesis of
these materials, the study of their properties and the development of
their applications in very diverse fields. These include the
petrochemical industry, biodegradable plastics and water treatment,
improved food quality, new medicines and revolutionary healthcare
materials, optoelectronic materials, emission reducing elements and, in
short, a broad range of activities in society.
Congratulations from
the IZA to these three prominent zeolite scientists! |

Channel
system search added to the Database of Zeolite Structures |
|
|
| |
|
Christian
Baerlocher has been busy! He has updated the database to include the
channel system descriptions and ring drawings for the framework types
that have been approved since the printed edition of the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types
appeared in 2007. At the same time, he added a new feature to the
"Advanced Search" function. It is now possible to search for the
maximum diameter of a sphere that can diffuse through the framework
These have already been implemented on the ETH and ASU servers, and
will appear shortly on the new Leuven and Stockholm ones. |

Developments in the Database of Zeolite
Structures |
|
|
| |
|
There
are now four active servers for the Database
of Zeolite Structures.
These are maintained in Zürich, Switzerland, Tempe, AZ, USA, Stockholm,
Sweden and Leuven, Belgium. When you enter the database via http://www.iza-structure.org/databases/,
you will be linked automatically to the nearest available server. |
|
|
| |
|
The
Natural Tilings that occur in at least two framework types are now
listed for each framework type in addition to the pdf file showing the
arrangement of the tiles. Drawings of all of these tiles can be found
by clicking on "Natural Tiling" for any framework
type. |

Conference" that traces the history of the IZC from the first in London
in 1967 to the fifteenth in Beijing in 2007 can now be acessed online.
