William J. (Jack) Kruper has been honored with the American Chemistry Society (ACS) Award for Affordable Green Chemistry.

Dr. Kruper earned the award for successfully developing a new process for converting glycerin to epichlorohydrin, an intermediate in the production of liquid epoxy resins commonly used in the electronics industry.

Dr. Kruper addressed the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry in accepting the award, which recognizes outstanding scientific discoveries that lay the foundation for more environmentally-advanced products, more cost effective manufacturing processes, and more novel technologies that improve the quality of our everyday lives.
