ACS MEWS

Three-year PRF Type G grants awarded One hundred American Chemical So­ciety Petroleum Research Fund grants for individual fundamental research in the petroleum field (Type G) have been approved by the ACS Board of Directors effective Sept. 1, 1969.

Formerly awarded for two years in the amount of $5000 each, the new 1969 Type G grants are for three years in the amount of $7500 each. Each researcher requests funds up to the full amount on a schedule to meet his requirements over the three-year period.

Type G grants, also known as "starter" grants, are designed to assist young Ph.D. faculty members within the first three years of a regular faculty appointment in establishing their own research programs.

Additional information on the ACS-PRF grant program, as well as applica­tion forms and assistance in the sub­mission of proposals, can be obtained by writing to the Petroleum Re­search Fund, American Chemical So­ciety, 1155-16th St., N.W., Wash­ington, D.C. 20036.

NEW low-cost carbohydrate

Masonex* hemicellulose extract This is a water soluble extract from wood fibers after mild acid hydrolysis in a steam pressure vessel. Dried Masonex is currently used as a binder in refractory bricks and in livestock feed pellets . . . also as an ingredient in adhesives (adds tack). Liquid Masonex is used as an intermediate in furfuryl production and as a carbohydrate supplement in livestock rations.

POTENTIAL USES: Grouts, drilling mud, defogger, insecticide and herbicide carrier, foundry core binder, enzymatic production, low-cost emulsifier, exotic sugar source and agglomerate in carbon black, feldspar. You may discover many more.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: With liquid Masonex viscosity is determined by solids concentration. Spray dried Masonex is normally water soluble but can be made insoluble by heating.
