FacultyJohn T. Gleaves, Ph.D., The University of Illinois, 1975
Washington University, Department of Chemical Engineering Campus Box 1198, One Brookings Drive St. Louis, Missouri 63130 Office Telephone: (314) 935-4159 Email: klatu_00@che.wustl.edu J. Gleaves is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Director of the Heterogeneous Kinetics and Particle Chemistry Laboratory at Washington University, and has been involved in heterogeneous catalysis research for twenty-nine years including thirteen years of industrial research. His areas of expertise include heterogeneous selective oxidation, and the development of novel transient response techniques to study gas-solid catalytic reactions. Gleaves is a co-inventor of the TAP reactor system and developed the commercial TAP reactor system, the TAP high-pressure reactor system, and is the inventor of the TAP-2 reactor system. There are currently 18 TAP reactor systems, designed and/or built by Gleaves operating in academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world. Gleaves has had experience in developing and applying infrared and Raman spectroscopic techniques to industrial catalysts, and has participated in the successful development of commercial catalytic materials. Particularly relevant to the proposed work is his experience in the selective oxidation of propane, and propene on mixed metal oxides, ethylene epoxidation on silver catalysts and butane and pentane oxidation over VPO based catalytic materials.
