The Carl Hanson Medal is awarded jointly by DECHEMA and the Society of the Chemical Industry in the UK (SCI). During the International Solvent Extraction Conference ISEC ’05 in Beijing the medal has been conferred on
Prof. Yury A. Zolotov, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian Federation
for his research on development and application of solvent extraction
Prof. Yury A. Zolotov has made significant contribution to the solvent extraction. His work is dealing with extraction of anionic complexes, elaboration of new extractants, and solvent extraction in analytical procedures. He has developed hybrid analytical methods based on liquid-liquid extraction separation and preconcentration. The hybrid methods are used today in analytical control in industry, environmental protection and geology. Professor Zolotov is the author of many books and research papers and his eminence in a number of fields has been recognised among many others by the Mendeleev Gold Medal from the Russian Chemical Society and honorary membership of the Royal Society of Art and Science in Göteborg, Sweden.
The Carl Hanson Medal commemorates the life and work of Prof. Carl Hanson, University of Bradford, UK, who had a very important influence on the development and application of solvent extraction. He was Secretary-General of the International Committee for solvent extraction (ICSE) from its formation in 1974 until his sudden death 1985. |
