Nalco's Dr. Rodney Banks Wins 2011 Perkin Medal

The Society of Chemical Industry, America International Group, announced today that the 2011 SCI Perkin Medal will be presented to Dr. Rodney H. Banks, a research fellow at Nalco.
The annual award is recognized as the highest honor given for outstanding work in applied chemistry in the United States. It commemorates the discovery of the first synthetic dye (the so-called Perkin mauve) by Sir William Henry Perkin in 1856. This discovery was a significant step forward in organic chemistry that led to the birth of a major segment of the chemical industry. The SCI Perkin Medal was first awarded to Sir William at a banquet held by the SCI in New York in 1906. Since then, more than 100 such awards have been given to notable scientists.
