ACS Intensive Short Courses MAY, 1979 —BOSTON, MA · COLUMBUS, OH A hands-on workshop experience focusing on LC and GC chemical and hardware problems
A practical, problem-solving course with an industry oriented approach
MAINTAINING AND TROUBLESHOOTING CHROMATOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING FOR CHEMISTS
Designed to give a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics, functions and anomalies of various LC and GC components, this workshop shows the analyst how to diagnose and solve chemical and hardware problems that occur in day-to-day operations of chromatographic systems. Modern LC components, such as pumps, inlets, columns, detectors and electronics will be examined, as well as GC components, including flow c o n t r o l l e r s , inlets, pyrolyzers, columns, detectors and electronics. A variety of hardware from prominent manufacturers will be on hand and the e m p h a s i s will be on both the strengths and specific weaknesses of each component separately and as a part of the complete system. Lectures, slides, demonstrations and hands-on work will be combined to make this an invaluable learning experience for anyone involved in liquid or gas chromatography. Some previous GC or LC instrument experience is helpful but not required.
This course is designed for chemists involved in production, pilot plant operations, development, and design. It is for technical personnel who have not been trained in chemical engineering but who require an understanding of chemical engineering principles.
INSTRUCTORS: John Q. Walker, McDonnell-Douglas Research Laboratories, St. Louis, M O ; Minor T. J a c k s o n , Jr., Spectra-Physics, St. Charles, MO; and Dr. M.P.T. Bradley, Spectra-Physics, Santa Clara, CA. FEE: A C S Members, $250.00; Nonmembers, $290.00
A general presentation of the subject is supplemented by illustrations of how to solve practical problems, with frequent citing of industrial examples. The course focuses on the interaction of chemical engineering with chemical phenomena and processes and covers such examples as non-isothermal batch reactors, flow reactor scale-ups, combined adsorption, and chemical reactions. Comparisons between the chemical engineering treatments of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer are made. Although the course is not highly mathematical, some knowledge of calculus is required. INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Richard G. Griskey, Professor, College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. FEE: A C S Members, $225.00; Nonmembers, $265.00 DATES: May 10-11,1979 SITE: Battelle Laboratories, Columbus, OH
DATES: May 5-6,1979 SITE: Boston Park Plaza Hotel
