In this issue
This month's cover story delves into the fundamentals of activated carbon.
With its broad range of applications, an understanding of the basics
of what activated carbon is and how it is manufactured, characterized
and used can be helpful in applying this versatile sorbent. Our Feature
Reports focus on safety, with a practical look at installing rupture discs
and on sizing and installation of steam valves. Our
Newsfronts cover the latest developments in nitric
acid production, and in packaging equipment. You'll
also find articles on modern training techniques that
utilize virtual reality simulation and on setting product
specifications. And as always, our pages include the
latest technology news briefs, latest business news
and more. We hope you enjoy reading.

2017 Nicholas Chopey Scholarship
A
s a provider of practical information and news for the chemical
process industries (CPI) since 1902, Chemical Engineering
strives to bring recognition to, and help advance the
chemical engineering profession. One way we do this is by
offering assistance to a student who is working toward a degree in
chemical engineering. In 2007, CE established the annual Chopey
Scholarship for Chemical Engineering Excellence, and we are happy
to continue the tradition this year. The award is named after Nicholas
P. Chopey, the magazine's former Editor-in-Chief, who devoted over
47 years of his professional career to Chemical Engineering.
The 2017 award winner
We are pleased to announce that this year's
scholarship recipient is Dean Rufeisen, who is
working toward his degree in chemical engineering
at the University of Oklahoma. His expected
graduation date is May 2018. Rufeisen is
the president of the Oklahoma University AIChE
chapter and a member of the university's Crimson
Club, which promotes the history and traditions
of the university. He was also the recent
recipient of an Outstanding Junior Researcher
Award. In addition to his academic achievements, Rufeisen is treasurer
of the Alpha Epsilon Pi (Omega Upsilon Chapter) fraternity.
