I consider anything done by any producer of that size big news, even more so when the topic is take overs.

CATALYTIC GOLD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
View conference sponsors
Date: 3 - 5 APRIL 2001
GOLD, that most noble of all metals, is not traditionally renowned for having catalytic properties. That it has such properties at all is still news to many. However, what is really interesting is not that gold can be merely prepared in catalytically-active forms, but that such materials have unique and commercially attractive properties. In some instances catalytic gold seems to offer activity at unprecedented low temperatures, in others it offers the promise of greater selectivity. This is still a rather young topic - up until now many of the researchers and developers in this area did not even know about each other. The Catalytic Gold conference will, for the first time, bring together the worlds leading researchers in the field. The conference is more than just an academic get-together however - it is expected that it will also be attended by top delegates from the laboratories of many of the worlds larger chemical industries who, perhaps, may not say much but who are expected to listen carefully as the utility of these new materials unfolds. So the conference offers delegates a very effective way to work themselves into this new field technically and perhaps gain some useful strategic insights as well.

The excellent line-up of speakers, from leading institutions around the world, will be addressing topics from gold in the synthesis of fine chemicals, gold chemistry, catalytic gold in industrial processes, to the potential uses of gold in environmental remediation. These sessions, combined with an opportunity to meet with the speakers and other participants during our social programme, will ensure that you will return from Cape Town with new insights, new ideas, and new horizons. Pre and post conference tours as well as two post conference technical tour are available. A comprehensive accompanying persons programme is also available.
