Natural gas conversion VI : proceedings of the 6th Natural Gas Conversion Symposium, June 17-22, 2001, Alaska, USA / edited by E. Iglesia, J.J. Spivey, T.H. Fleisch.
This volume contains peer-reviewed manuscripts describing the scientific and technological advances presented at the 6<SUP>th</SUP> Natural Gas Conversion Symposium held in Alaska in June 2001. This symposium continues the tradition of excellence and the status as the premier technical meeting in this area established by previous meetings. The 6<SUP>th</SUP> Natural Gas Conversion Symposium is conducted under the overall direction of the Organizing Committee. The Program Committee was responsible for the review, selection, editing of most of the manuscripts included in this volum. A standing International Advisory Board has ensured the effective long-term planning and the continuity and technical excellence of these meetings.
